Details for simulation set 2

Case Number Contraction Type Details
1 Peristalsis (normal), standard myotomy Contraction width: 6 cm, speed: 2 cm/s, EGJOO, myotomy length: 6 cm
2 Very weak contraction (achalasia I), standard myotomy Stationary over the entire esophageal length, EGJOO, myotomy length: 6 cm
3 Pan-esophageal contraction (achalasia II), standard myotomy Stationary over the entire esophageal length with weak irregularities in strength along the length, EGJOO, myotomy length: 6 cm
4 Proximal peristalsis transitions with distal spasm (achalasia III), standard myotomy Peristalsis in the proximal half of the esophagus that merges with spasm (three stationary peaks) in the distal half, EGJOO, myotomy length: 6 cm
5 Peristalsis (normal), short myotomy Contraction width: 6 cm, speed: 2 cm/s, EGJOO, myotomy length: 2 cm
6 Very weak contraction (achalasia I), short myotomy Stationary over the entire esophageal length, EGJOO, myotomy length: 2 cm
7 Pan-esophageal contraction (achalasia II), short myotomy Stationary over the entire esophageal length with weak irregularities in strength along the length, EGJOO, myotomy length: 2 cm
8 Proximal peristalsis transitions with distal spasm (achalasia III), short myotomy Peristalsis in the proximal half of the esophagus that merges with spasm (3 stationary peaks) in the distal half, EGJOO, myotomy length: 2 cm

EGJOO, esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction.
