Impact of gastrointestinal dysfunction on survival after liver transplantation for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.

abstract：:Diffuse esophageal spasm is an uncommon motility disorder that is found in less than 5% of patients undergoing esophageal motility testing for dysphagia. It is defined manometrically by the presence of 20% or more simultaneous contractions in the distal esophageal body with normal peristalsis. This motility abnormalit...
