Virtual chromoendoscopy improves the diagnostic yield of small bowel capsule endoscopy in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
BACKGROUND Small bowel capsule endoscopy represents the initial investigation for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Flexible spectral imaging colour enhancement (FICE) is a virtual chromoendoscopy technique designed to enhance mucosal lesions, available in different settings according to light wavelength-- FICE1, 2 and 3. AIMS To compare the diagnostic yield of FICE1 and white light during c...
متن کاملA new view of occult and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
Occult gastrointestinal bleeding usually is discovered when fecal occult blood test results are positive or iron deficiency anemia is detected. Fecal occult blood testing methods vary, but all have limited sensitivity and specificity. The initial work-up for occult bleeding typically involves colonoscopy or esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or both. In patients without symptoms indicating an upper ga...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy in a tertiary hospital in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Capsule endoscopy is applicable to several clinical conditions, but obscure gastrointestinal bleeding remains the main indication. This study aims at determining the diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding using a structured terminology in a large cohort in an academic hospital. METHODS In this retrospective study, 592 capsule endoscopy ...
متن کاملContinuing challenges in the diagnosis and management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
The diagnosis and management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) have changed dramatically since the introduction of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) followed by deep enteroscopy and other imaging technologies in the last decade. Significant advances have been made, yet there remains room for improvement in our diagnostic yield and treatment capabilities for recurrent OGIB. In this review,...
متن کاملAssessment of multi-modality evaluations of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
AIM To determine the frequency of bleeding source detection in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) who underwent double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) after pre-procedure imaging [multiphase computed tomography enterography (MPCTE), video capsule endoscopy (VCE), or both] and assess the impact of imaging on DBE diagnostic yield. METHODS Retrospective cohort study using a prospec...
