Clinical Versatility of the Functional Lumen Imaging Probe in Pediatric Gastrointestinal Procedures |Biomedgrid

The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) is a novel device with great utility as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for a variety of gastrointestinal conditions. While its use is well documented within the adult population, very few articles have described the use of the FLIP in the pediatric population. We summarize current literature describing the use of the FLIP in the pediatric population as well as our experiences with the FLIP for the past five years in patients with achalasia, esophageal dysphagia, and/or eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) at two pediatric centers.
