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.
