Focal cryoballoon ablation (FCBA) is a relatively new ablation modality for the treatment of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) related neoplasia. This prospective, European multicenter study (Euro-Coldplay, NTR NL7253) aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FCBA for the treatment of limited BE…

BACKGROUND: Using EsoCheck (EC), a non-endoscopic balloon device for sampling the distal esophagus, coupled with EsoGuard (EG), a DNA based testing screening for Barrett’s esophagus (BE), we have previously reported high sensitivity and specificity for detection of BE among patients with known BE c…

_BACKGROUND AND AIMS:_ To date, whole gastrointestinal capsule endoscopy from the esophagus to the colorectum has not been fully accomplished. We have developed the guiding device using neodymium magnet (L 139 mm X W 139 mm X H 30 mm, weight: 2…

Optimal management following radical endoscopic resection (R0 ER) of T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is still a matter of debate due to conflicting reports on the risk for lymph node metastases (LNM). In case of histological risk factors for LNM, i.e…
