Does the preoperative manometric pattern predict the outcome of surgical treatment for esophageal achalasia?
This is the first study by a surgical group to assess the outcome of surgery in 3 manometric achalasia subtypes: patients with panesophageal pressurization have the best outcome after laparoscopic Heller-Dor myotomy.
Available evidence indicates that reduction of LV mass is not different in PA patients treated with adrenalectomy or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
