Interventions

DEVICEGatekeeper Reflux Repair System

The Gatekeeper System™ consists of a specialized 16-mm overtube assembly, a 2.4-mm diameter prosthesis delivery system (1-mm diameter needle, dilator, and 2.4-mm diameter sheath), a pushrod assembly and Gatekeeper Prosthesis. Up to 4 prostheses will be implanted at the initial procedure and retreatment with up to four more prostheses will be allowed at 3-months if the subject has a GERD HRQL score \>15.
