Delayed presentation of an aspirated capsule endoscope

Capsule endoscopy has revolutionized the investigation of small intestinal pathology with an increasing repertoire of indications. We present the first reported case of an aspirated capsule presenting after a long asymptomatic period that was removed with no permanent pulmonary sequelae. This report highlights a cohort of patients who could be susceptible to this rare complication. The report a...

Low Power Transmitter for Wireless Capsule Endoscope

This paper presents the transmitter circuit designed for the application of wireless capsule endoscope to overcome the limitation of conventional endoscope. The design is performed using CMOS 0.13 μm technology. The transmitter is designed to operate at centre frequency of 433.92 MHz, which is one of the ISM band. Active mixer and ring oscillator made up the transmitter and it consumes 1.57 mA ...

Double-balloon endoscopy as the primary method for small-bowel video capsule endoscope retrieval.

BACKGROUND Capsule retention in the small bowel is a known complication of small-bowel video capsule endoscopy. Surgery is the most frequently used method of capsule retrieval. OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and causes of capsule retention and to describe double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) as the primary technique used for capsule retrieval. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of all video caps...
