Video Tip: Radiofrequency Energy Delivery | November 2021-Radiofrequency Energy Delivery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses endoscopic interventions, specifically focusing on radiofrequency energy delivery using the Strata system. This outpatient procedure involves delivering radiofrequency energy at six levels near the esophagogastric junction. While the mechanism of action is not fully understood, it has shown promising results in improving symptoms and reducing esophageal acid exposure, according to a meta-analysis of over 1,400 patients. However, it is not effective for patients with significant hiatal hernia and is considered a relatively weak antireflux intervention. It may be suitable for certain patients, such as those who have already undergone a sleeve gastrectomy or require a temporary measure before a lung transplant. No credits were mentioned.
