Argon plasma coagulation of gastric inlet patches for the treatment of globus sensation: it is an effective therapy in the long term.

Abstract:

AIM:To determine the long-term effect of argon plasma coagulation (APC) of gastric inlet patches in the cervical esophagus for patients suffering from globus sensation. METHODS:We intended to follow up all patients between 2004 and 2011 (n = 49) who received argon plasma ablation of gastric inlet patches for globus sensation at our clinic. Symptoms were assessed by a visual analogue scale (VAS) in 31 of 49 patients. Follow-up endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract was performed to confirm residual or relapsed cervical inlet patches. RESULTS:After a median period of 27 months, APC was assessed as a successful therapy in 23 of 31 patients (74%). VAS scores decreased significantly from 7.6 to 4.0 in the long term. Twenty-two of 31 patients were willing to undergo follow-up endoscopy. Endoscopy revealed recurrent/residual gastric inlet patches after APC in 11 of 22 cases. These patients suffered from a significant relapse of symptoms in the postinterventional period (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:This retrospective study indicates that APC of gastric inlet patches for the treatment of globus sensation might be a sufficient therapy option. Recurrences or residual heterotopic gastric mucosa are possible and seem to be associated with a relapse of symptoms. Therefore, endoscopic follow-up and retreatment might be necessary if globus sensation is not sufficiently eliminated.
