The mucosa appears normal in the proximal esophagus with TXI
3. EoE stricture a
Stricture in the mid-esophagus.
4. EoE Stricture b
Stricture in the mid-esophagus not passable with a standard gastroscope
5. EoE stricture with the ultra-slim endoscope in WLI
Proximal to the stricture with the ultra-slim endoscope (GIF-H190N) in white light
6. EoE stricture with the ultra-slim endoscope in NBI
Inside the stricture with the ultra slim endoscope (GIF-H190N) with NBI
7. EoE stricture with the ultra-slim endoscope in TXI mode 1

Case video
The GIF-EZ1500 gastroscope was used initially to examine the esophagus. A stricture was found in the mid-esophagus, preventing the further insertion. The mucosa proximally to the stricture was normal. We changed to an ultra-slim endoscope for inspection, passed the stricture, and dilated it to 12 mm. Repeated gastroscopy with the GIF-EZ1500 gastroscope could pass the stricture. The video demonstrates the different optical modes on the EVIS X1 with the different endoscopes.
