BACKGROUND & AIMS: Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is an emerging treatment for gastroparesis, but clinical outcomes can be inconsistent; hence, it is vital to enhance our management strategies for patients with clinical failure.
This was a multicenter retrospective review of patients who underwent G-POEM for refractory gastroparesis from September 2015 to November 2023. Clinical outcomes and management post-G-POEM were assessed and categorized into 4 types based on symptom improvement and gastric emptying metrics.
Of the 482 patients, 221 (46%) underwent evaluations with pre- and post-G-POEM gastric emptying tests and were included in the study. Type 1 clinical response (clinical success with improved gastric emptying scintigraphy [GES]) was the most common outcome, occurring in 56%. This was followed by type 4 (clinical failure with no GES improvement) at 23%, type 2 (clinical failure with improved GES) at 15%, and type 3 (clinical success with no GES improvement) at 6.7%. Patients with primary clinical failure (types 2 and 4) showed significantly higher daily opioid use at 23%, compared with 7% in types 1 and 3 (P = .032). Clinical failure overall was observed in 60% during a median follow-up of 48 months, with 31% managed by pylorus-directed retreatment and 7% with gastric neurostimulator placement. In the type 1 response group, clinical success was re-established in 71% following pylorus-directed therapies, with repeat G-POEM being an independent predictor of clinical success post-re-treatment (odds ratio, 2.2; P = .02).
Our study highlights the importance of post-G-POEM GES assessments for characterizing clinical responses. Type 1 responders are more likely to benefit from subsequent pylorus-directed re-treatments, particularly repeat G-POEM interventions.

经口内镜下胃肌切开术(G-POEM)是一种新兴的胃轻瘫治疗方法,但临床疗效可能不一致;因此,加强对临床治疗失败患者的管理策略至关重要。
这是一项对2015年9月至2023年11月因难治性胃轻瘫接受G-POEM治疗的患者进行的多中心回顾性研究。评估了G-POEM后的临床疗效和管理情况,并根据症状改善和胃排空指标分为4种类型。
482例患者中,221例(46%)进行了G-POEM前后的胃排空试验评估并纳入研究。1型临床反应(临床成功且胃排空闪烁扫描[GES]改善)是最常见的结果,占56%。其次是4型(临床失败且GES无改善),占23%;2型(临床失败但GES改善),占15%;3型(临床成功但GES无改善),占6.7%。原发性临床失败(2型和4型)的患者每日阿片类药物使用率显著更高,为23%,而1型和3型为7%(P = 0.032)。在中位随访48个月期间,总体临床失败率为60%,31%通过幽门定向再治疗,7%通过放置胃神经刺激器进行管理。在1型反应组中,幽门定向治疗后71%重新建立了临床成功,重复G-POEM是再治疗后临床成功的独立预测因素(比值比,2.2;P = 0.02)。
我们的研究强调了G-POEM后GES评估对表征临床反应的重要性。1型反应者更有可能从后续的幽门定向再治疗中获益,特别是重复G-POEM干预。
