INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Pyloric sphincter abnormalities may be detected in gastroparesis. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) injection into the pylorus has been used to treat gastroparesis with varying results. The aim of the present article was to assess whether pyloric sphincter characteristics using the endoscopic functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP®) with impedance planimetry in patients with gastroparesis correlated with symptoms, gastric emptying, and therapeutic response to pyloric sphincter BoNT/A injection.

METHODS: EndoFLIP® study was performed on patients undergoing gastroparesis treatment with BoNT/A. The gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (GCSI) was applied prior to treatment and at post-treatment weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12.

RESULTS: Forty-four patients were enrolled (30 with idiopathic gastroparesis, 14 with diabetic gastroparesis). Smaller pyloric diameter, cross-sectional area (CSA), and distensibility correlated with worse vomiting and retching severity at baseline. Greater gastric retention tended to correlate with decreased CSA and pyloric distensibility. BoNT/A treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the GCSI score at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, but not at post-treatment weeks 8 or 12. Nausea, early satiety, postprandial fullness, and upper abdominal pain improved up to 12 weeks, whereas loss of appetite, stomach fullness, and stomach visibly larger improved only up to 4 weeks. Retching and vomiting failed to improve. Greater pyloric compliance at baseline correlated with greater improvement in early satiety and náusea at 8 weeks and greater pyloric distensibility correlated with improvement in upper abdominal pain.

CONCLUSIONS: EndoFLIP® characteristics of the pylorus provided important pathophysiologic information in patients with gastroparesis, in relation to symptoms, gastric emptying, and predicting the response to treatment directed at the pylorus.
