An ingestible capsule consisting of an endoscope equipped with a video camera at both ends was designed to explore the colon. This study compared endoscopy optical colonoscopy for detection colorectal polyps and cancer.We performed prospective, multicenter comparing (the standard comparison) in cohort patients known or suspected colonic disease cancer. Patients underwent adapted colon preparation, cleanliness graded from poor excellent. We computed sensitivity specificity polyps, advanced...
MR1: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy as the first-line examination, before consideration of other endoscopic and radiological diagnostic tests for suspected bleeding, given excellent safety profile endoscopy, its patient tolerability, potential to visualize entire mucosa.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR2: in patients with overt bleeding soon possible after episode, ideally within 48 hours, maximize subsequent therapeutic yield.Strong high MR3: does not...
Main recommendations 1 ESGE/ESGAR recommend computed tomographic colonography (CTC) as the radiological examination of choice for diagnosis colorectal neoplasia.Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. do not barium enema in this setting.Strong 2 CTC, preferably same or next day, if colonoscopy is incomplete. The timing depends on an interdisciplinary decision including endoscopic and factors.Strong low suggests that, centers with expertise availability colon capsule endoscopy (CCE),...
Radioembolization is a new tool for the treatment of hepatic tumors that consists in injection biocompatible microspheres carrying radioisotopes into artery or its branches.We have performed radioembolization 78 patients with using resin-based loaded yttrium-90. All were previously evaluated to minimize risk hazardous irradiation nontarget organs and obtain data needed dose calculation.We report complication found three cases (3.8%) abdominal pain resulting from gastroduodenal lesions had...
Capsule endoscopy (CE) has become a first-line tool for small bowel (SB) examination. However, adverse events (AEs), such as CE retention or aspiration, may occur. The aims of this study were to evaluate incidence, clinical outcomes and therapeutic approaches CE-related AEs in the largest series published date.Data from 5428 procedures performed at 12 institutions between August 2001 January 2012 retrospectively analyzed. Baseline patient characteristics; procedure; type, localization...
Main Recommendations The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has recognized the need to formalize training in small-bowel endoscopy across centers. following criteria and framework for capsule (SBCE) device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE), which aim provide uniform high quality ensure that endoscopists are competent operate independently, based on current literature experience experts field. Three main areas covered: skills required prior commencing endoscopy; structured...
The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) presents a short list performance measures for colonoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Current mainly focus on detecting (pre)malignant lesions. However, these are not relevant all indications IBD Therefore, our aim was to provide endoscopy services across Europe and other interested countries with tool quality monitoring improvement colonoscopy. Eight key one minor measure were recommended measurement evaluation...
The role of capsule endoscopy (CE) in established celiac disease (CD) remains unclear. Our objective was to analyze the usefulness CE suspicion complicated CD.This a retrospective multicenter study. One hundred and eighty-nine patients (mean age: 46.6 ± 16.6, 30.2% males) who underwent for alarm symptoms (n = 86, 45.5%) or non-responsive CD 103, 54.5%) were included. Diagnostic yield (DY), therapeutic impact safety analyzed.Capsule completed 95.2% (small bowel transit time: 270.5 100.2 min)....
Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is an alternative approach for the examination of colon in patients who refuse colonoscopy or after incomplete (IC). We conducted a study to determine frequency complete IC, diagnostic yield CCE, therapeutic impact lesions found level cleanliness and safety procedure.We performed prospective, multicenter involving ten Spanish hospitals. Consecutive outpatients aged ≥ 18 years with previous IC were invited participate. The latest version CCE device, PillCam™...
The present evidence-based guidelines are focused on the use of device-assisted enteroscopy in management small-bowel diseases. A panel experts selected by Spanish and Portuguese small bowel study groups reviewed available evidence focusing main indications this technique, its role algorithm each indication diagnostic therapeutic yields. set recommendations were issued accordingly.Estas recomendações baseadas na evidência detalham o uso da enteroscopia assistida por dispositivo no manejo...
AIM:To evaluate the long-term natural history of gastroduodenal lesions secondary to extrahepatic embolization with Ytrium 90 ( Y) spheres. METHODS:From September 2003 January 2012, 379 procedures liver radioembolization (RE) using resin microspheres loaded Y were performed in our center.We have retrospectively compiled data from RE report a comprehensive clinical, analytical, endoscopic and histologic follow-up series patients who developed after treatment. RESULTS:Six (1.5%)...
Capsule endoscopy (CE) has become a first-line noninvasive tool for visualisation of the small bowel (SB) and is being increasingly used investigation colon. The European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines have specified requirements clinical applications CE. However, there are no standardized recommendations yet CE training courses in Europe. following suggestions this curriculum based on experience directors. It suggested that 12 hours be dedicated either capsule (SBCE)...
Aim: to identify possible risk factors for the development of metachronous lesions in colorectal cancer (CRC) which would allow establish a post-surgical individual prognostic index.Patients and methods: three hundred eighty-two surgically treated CRC were reviewed.We compared incidence 40 variables concerning patient clinical data initial neoplastic findings.An index metachronicity was drawn up including those presented significant differences multivariate logistic regression, dividing...
