Methods All 28 patients treated with 10sec were compared with the first 28 patients treated with 8sec. Treatments were performed by trained endoscopists in 7 Barrett referral centers. The gastroesophageal junction was ablated circumferentially followed by all visible BE. To assess efficacy after a single FCBA, three expert adjudicators, blinded for treating physician and dosages, compared pre- and post-treatment images. Outcomes included median BE surface regression and stricture rate.

Conclusions In limited BE, single-session FCBA with 8sec has shown similar efficacy as compared to 10sec, and may theoretically result in less and less severe strictures. Therefore, further study into using 8sec dosing is recommended.
