pubmed:abstractText |
Recent studies suggest that endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin (BTX) for achalasia is a safe procedure giving short-term relief of symptoms mainly in elderly patients (> 50 years). The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of periodic BTX treatments in high risk achalasia patients.
