Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy May Be Safe in Solid-Organ Transplant Patients With Achalasia

Peroral endoscopy myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective therapy for achalasia among the general population. However, data regarding its safety and efficacy in organ transplant recipients are lacking. These patients present unique risks and challenges because of chronic immunosuppression. We present...

description Peroral endoscopy myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective therapy for achalasia among the general population. However, data regarding its safety and efficacy in organ transplant recipients are lacking. These patients present unique risks and challenges because of chronic immunosuppression. We present 3 cases of successful POEM performed safely for achalasia in patients with previous solid-organ transplantation without interruption of their immunosuppression medications. This case series suggests that POEM may be safe in solid-organ transplant recipients.
