2 Fig. 1 Appearance of Enteryx after polymerization as a spongy black material in a glass of saline solution. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics  , DOI: ( /S (02) )

3 Fig. 2 Successive radiographic images taken during Enteryx injection. There is progressive formation of a “ring” around the distal esophagus. Panel at lower right shows injection of contrast by means of the endoscope to illustrate newly developed tapering in the region of the lower esophageal sphincter. (From Deviere J, Pastorelli A, Louis H, et al. Endoscopic implantation of a biopolymer in the lower esophageal sphincter for gastroesophageal reflux: a pilot study.
