This study provides a reliable novel biopsy method for safely biopsy gastric muscle for quantitating the number of gastric ICC in patients with gastroparesis. The number of ICC may be related to the outcome of GPOEM therapy. However, further studies with larger number of patients are needed to confirm the results.
