Moving Medical Therapy for Refractory GERD

Video Transcription

This ASG video tip is sponsored by Braintree, maker of the newly approved Suflav and Sutab.  In terms of moving beyond medical therapy for refractory GERD, first of all, we need to ensure that we are confident that our patient actually has refractory GERD.  If you need to test, the testing is endoscopy or 24-hour pH impedance, but we don't always have to do further testing.  Optimizing medical management goes far beyond just PPI and really needs to be personalized to your patient's presentation.  Please remember to exclude achalasia before recommending an antireflux intervention. And then we've talked about the many interventions that are available. So thank you very much.
