About this trial
A post-market retrospective and prospective, open label, multicenter, single-arm registry study using standard clinical procedures to record available and/or new data to evaluate the safety and performance of RefluxStop™ for the treatment of subjects suffering from GERD.
Following surgery, patients will have follow-ups visits at 3 and 6 months and annually up to 7 years.
