Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic outcome of a primary balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) approach in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) patients. In the diagnostic approach of OGIB, both wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) and BAE are used. The advantage of the primary wireless capsule endoscopy approach is its noninvasiveness. The main advantage of the primary BAE approach is the excellent diagnostic accuracy and the possibility to perform treatment during the same procedure. A retrospective analysis of our BAE database with patients evaluated for OGIB was performed. BAE data, findings, and follow-up were obtained and evaluated.
