Achalasia subtypes did not demonstrate different pre-POEM diameters or DI as measured by EndoFLIP® nor are there differences after POEM completion. While achalasia subtypes may have slightly different pathophysiology based on manometry findings, similar pre- and post-POEM impedance planimetry findings, along with similar Eckardt scores, support the use of POEM in the treatment of any achalasia subtype.
