You can go to the above thread and read about it. John’s esophagus was totally closed due to scarring. The interventional radiologist opened it up using magnets. I don’t know if this is what you are looking for but it’s probably of interest to you. I have to let you know that we are Canadian and the doctor is in Toronto.
