Abstract
Purpose: Bravo pH monitoring is an innovative wireless system that allows ambulatory assessment of esophageal acid exposure using a radiotelemetery capsule. The device is attached to the distal esophagus by deployment of a locking pin through esophageal mucosa that has been pulled by suction into a small cup in the side of the capsule. Typically patients have minimal discomfort while the device is attached, and it eventually sloughs from the mucosa spontaneously. We reviewed clinical features and outcomes of patients who required endoscopic dislodgement of the device to determine predisposing characteristics and optimal methods for removal.
