Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An esophageal device is used to recognize, diagnose, characterize, or relieve an impact of an abnormal or defective UES anatomy, physiology, or functionality. In one implementation, the esophageal device measures a UES response to esophageal fluid infusion to detect or characterize an abnormality or defective UES anatomy, physiology, or functionality. An Upper Esophageal Sphincter compression device is used to increase intra-luminal pressure within the Upper Esophageal Sphincter of a patient in order relieve an impact of an abnormal or defective UES anatomy, physiology, or functionality.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. An esophageal device for diagnosing Upper Esophageal Sphincter (UES) pathology, the esophageal device comprising: (a) a intra-luminal pressure sensor configured to measure UES pressure when the intra-luminal pressure sensor is located within an Upper Esophageal Sphincter of a patient; (b) a fluid infusion device including: tubing configured for insertion into an esophagus of a patient; a pump configured to inject fluid into the tubing, wherein, when the tubing is…
