Three cases of GERD treated by endoscopic cardiac constriction in Tibetan District County Hospital

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease in the outpatient clinic. The symptoms of GERD are typical heartburn, acid reflux and chest pain, and a few are accompanied by extra-esophageal symptoms, such as cough. The recurrence rate of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is high in medical treatment. Three patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who failed to receive standard medical treatment were treated by endoscopic cardiac coachectomy in the secondary hospital of Chayu County, Tibet Autonomous Region.
