Weighing Risks and Benefits of Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux Surgery in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
This study will test the hypothesis that treatment with laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery in
subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and abnormal gastroesophageal reflux (GER)
will slow the decline of forced vital capacity (FVC) over 48 weeks.
