About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Distal Esophageal and Cardia Rubber Band Ligation and Mucosectomy in the Treatment of Subjects With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of two separate procedures to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) also known as heartburn. The two therapies are: 1) a banding procedure alone using the Cook® 6 Shooter™ Saeed Multi-Band Ligator or 2) a banding/shaving procedure called Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) using the Cook® Duette™ Multi-Band Mucosectomy device.
