Accurate diagnosis and monitoring of GERD are crucial for appropriate patient management and treatment selection. This demonstration highlights the advantages of the Bravo wireless system over traditional catheter-based methods for pH monitoring. The procedure proves particularly valuable in post-bariatric surgery patients, as illustrated in this case of a patient with previous sleeve gastrectomy, where GERD symptoms frequently require thorough evaluation. The extended 96-hour monitoring period provides comprehensive data regarding reflux patterns and symptom correlation, facilitating evidence-based decisions about medical or surgical management.
