Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) in Barrett's Esophagus

Completed
Conditions
Early Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Barrett's Esophagus
Registration Number
NCT00586872
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

Existing records will be reviewed to evaluate the predictors of complications including stricture formation, bleeding or perforation associated with endoscopic mucosal resection

Detailed Description

Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease in which the normal squamous lining of the esophagus is replaced by specialized columnar epithelium.1 Approximately 5%-10% of patients diagnosed with BE are thought to be at risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma.2 Patients with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) on biopsy are at the greatest cancer risk³. EMR is being performed clinically in our Barrett's Esophagus Unit on a regular basis during endoscopy for patients with Barrett's Esophagus and/or early esophageal adenocarcinoma. There are two predominant endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) techniques exist using FDA approved devices - the EMR cap method using a transparent cap/snare combination and the endoscopic variceal ligation method using a band ligator/snare combination to resect tissue.
