Assessment of patient symptoms to guide treatment decisions.
Investigation of patient selection criteria for retreatment.
FLIP did not enhance identification of retreatment candidates compared to HRM and TBE.
The complexity of patient selection for achalasia retreatment was highlighted.
Further research is necessitated by the findings.

Resumen

FLIP did not provide added value over HRM and TBE for identifying treated achalasia patients who may benefit from further treatment. The difficulty in selecting achalasia patients for retreatment highlights the complexity of this patient population and underscores the need for further research.
