Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) symptom elimination

    GERD symptoms (typical and atypical) will be evaluated using three disease-specific standardized questionnaires: GERD-HRQL (Health-related Quality of Life), GSRS (GERD Symptom Rating Score), and RSI (Reflux Symptom Index).

    6-month follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Elimination of Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) usage

    at 12-, 24- and 36-month follow-up

  • Esophageal acid exposure

    at 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-month follow-up

  • Healing of reflux esophagitis

    at 12, 24- and 36-month follow-up

  • Safety outcomes

    first 30 days

  • Long-term Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) symptom elimination

    at 12-, 24- and 36-month follow-up

Study Arms (1)

TIF Procedure

OTHER

Intervention: Transoral incisionless fundoplication procedure using the EsophyX device. During general anesthesia the EsophyX device is introduced trans orally into the stomach and used to created a 270 degree, 3cm in length, wrap at the distal end of the esophagus to treat GERD.. .

Procedure: TIF Procedure

Interventions

TIF ProcedurePROCEDURE

The TIF procedure results in the creation of an esophago-gastric fundoplication extending up to 4 cm above the Z-line and 270 degrees around the esophagus.

Also known as: TIF - Transoral Incisionless fundoplication
