Capsule endoscopy (CE) is useful for managing patients with suspected small bowel diseases. However, the effect of prolonged CE examination time on CE performance is unknown....
To evaluate the completeness and diagnostic yield of prolonged CE imaging in patients with suspected small bowel bleeding....
We reviewed consecutive records of adult CE examinations via an overnight protocol from Jan 2016 to Dec 2020 at a tertiary center in Taiwan. We subcategorized the CE records by recording length into w...
A total of 88 patients were enrolled with 78.4% inpatients (median age 72 years). The small bowel evaluation completion rate was 93.2%, which was significantly greater than the 79.5% rate within 12 h ...
Prolonged overnight CE examination can improve the completion rate and diagnostic yield and should be considered for routine clinical practice....
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) of the small-bowel has been proven to accurately diagnose small-bowel inflammation and to predict future clinical flares among patients with Crohn's disease (CD). In 2017...
Capsule endoscopy is widely recognized as a safe and effective procedure to evaluate the small bowel and/or the colon noninvasively. Although infrequent, capsule retention is the most feared adverse e...
This review addresses the main risk factors for capsule retention, strategies for risk reduction such as patients' selection, dedicated cross-sectional imaging and rational use of the patency capsule,...
Capsule retention is infrequent, and it is usually manageable conservatively with favorable clinical outcomes. Patency capsules and dedicated small-bowel cross-sectional techniques such as CT or MR en...
Complete and consecutive observation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract continues to present challenges for current endoscopy systems. We developed a novel upper and mid gastrointestinal (UMGI) capsul...
Patients were recruited to undergo UMGI capsule endoscopy followed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. All capsule procedures in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract were conducted under the control of m...
Thirty patients were enrolled and all UMGI capsule procedures realized repeated observation of the esophagus and duodenum with detection rates of 100.0%, 80.0%, and 86.7% of Z-line, duodenal papilla, ...
This new capsule endoscopy system provides an alternative screening modality for the UMGI tract, and might be indicated in cases of suspected upper and small bowel GI bleeding. Trial registration DS-M...
The incidence of chronic and recurrent abdominal pain increases every year, while the diagnosis is still unsatisfactory even after a number of check-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnosis val...
A retrospective case study was performed in 80 chronic and recurrent abdominal pain patients at Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2013 to November 2017. Meanwhile, diagnoses by capsule endoscopy...
Abnormal findings were found in 54 of 80 (67.5%) patients. The findings in chronic and recurrent abdominal pain patients include small intestinal erosion and congestion, small intestinal ulcers, small...
Capsule endoscopy has a great value in the diagnosis of chronic and recurrent abdominal pain with satisfactory safety and less pain for patients. Inflammatory lesions and ulcers in the small intestine...
Capsule endoscopy (CE) and deep enteroscopy (DE) can be useful for diagnosing and treating suspected small-bowel disease. Guidelines and detailed recommendations exist for the use of CE/DE, but compre...
An expert panel of 7 gastroenterologists with diverse practice experience was assembled to identify quality indicators. A literature review was conducted to develop a list of proposed quality indicato...
The voting procedure to prioritize metrics emphasized selecting measures to improve quality and overall patient care. Panelists rated indicators on the perceived appropriateness and necessity for clin...
Comprehensive quality indicators have not existed for CE or DE. The task force identified quality indicators that can be incorporated into clinical practice. The panel also addressed existing knowledg...
Wireless Capsule Endoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a small, wireless camera to capture images of the inside of the digestive tract. The identification of the entrance and exit of the small bo...
Capsule endoscopy (CE) and balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) have become indispensable techniques for the diagnosis and management of small bowel disease in both adult and pediatric cases. However, r...

The increasing elderly population and wide use of magnetic capsule endoscopy (MCE) have led to more attention to elderly patients....
The aim of this study was to assess the performance (including transit time, cleanliness score, positive findings and safety) of MCE in aging patients (≥ 60 years), especially patients over 80 years o...
Consecutive patients of ≥ 60 years undergoing MCE at our center from August 2017 to August 2022 were classified into the oldest (≥ 80 years) and the older (60-79 years) groups. Esophageal transit time...
Of 293 enrolled patients, 128 patients were in the oldest group and 165 patients were in the older group. ETT and GET were longer in the oldest group, whereas SITT was slightly longer in the oldest pa...
MCE was feasible and safe for aging patients. ETT and GET were markedly longer and gastric cleanliness and visualization were worse, while overall small intestine-positive findings were higher in the ...
