Evaluation of the pylorus with concurrent intraluminal pressure and Endo <scp>FLIP</scp> in patients with nausea and vomiting

Abstract

Elevated basal pyloric pressure occurs in 42% of patients with nausea and vomiting and delayed emptying. Decreased pyloric distensibility occurs with nausea, vomiting, and delayed gastric emptying. The EndoFLIP is a useful tool in the evaluation of pyloric function in symptomatic patients.
