Bravo Walter ! This is a big deal: explaining to colleagues that reflux protection post graft needs to be effective on non acid reflux as well (❌ PPIs only) Sylvie ESCALON Stéphane HANS cela fait plusieurs années que je suggère de faire une telle étude a Hopital Foch …. Nous sommes un centre de référence en greffe pulmonaire et nous avons la plus grosse activité en reflux laryngopharyngé d’Europe. Nous sommes en train de louper le coche.
