The optimal management of patients who fail POEM is not well known. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of different management strategies in patients who had failed POEM.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2002This was an international multicenter retrospective study at 16 tertiary centers between January 2012 and November 2019.\u200aAll patients who underwent POEM and experienced persistent or recurrent symptoms (Eckardt score\u200a&gt;\u200a3) were included. The primary outcome was to compare the rates of clinical success (Eckardt score \u2264\u200a3) between different management strategies.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u200299 patients (50 men [50.5\u200a%]; mean age 51.4 [standard deviation (SD) 16.2]) experienced clinical failure during the study period, with a mean (SD) Eckardt score of 5.4 (0.3). A total of 29 patients (32.2\u200a%) were managed conservatively and 70 (71\u200a%) underwent retreatment (repeat POEM 33 [33\u200a%], pneumatic dilation 30 [30\u200a%], and laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) 7 [7.1\u200a%]). During a median follow-up of 10 (interquartile range 3\u200a\u2013\u200a20) months, clinical success was highest in patients who underwent repeat POEM (25\u200a\/33 [76\u200a%]; mean [SD] Eckardt score 2.1 [2.1]), followed by pneumatic dilation (18\/30 [60\u200a%]; Eckardt score 2.8 [2.3]), and LHM (2\/7 [29\u200a%]; Eckardt score 4 [1.8]; P\u200a=\u200a0.12). A total of 11 patients in the conservative group (37.9\u200a%; mean Eckardt score 4 [1.8]) achieved clinical success.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2002This study comprehensively assessed an international cohort of patients who underwent management of failed POEM.
