Core Tip We report an unexpected, and so far unre-ported, complication of a Bravo pH capsule dislodg-ment. While Bravo probe placement is generally a well-tolerated procedure, dislodgment into the pyriform sinus in this case necessitated immediate action by an interdisciplinary team. Complications of Bravo capsule use range from technical difficulties, such as poor data reception and non-deployment, to more serious events such as esophageal wall trauma and capsule aspiration. Gastroenterologists performing this procedure should be aware of the risk of potential complications.
