Intraoperative Enteroscopy: Is There Still a Role?
2017, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :According to the previously published data (see Table 2), a site-specific source of bleeding was detected in 371 patients (79.27%), confirming that the source of bleeding in OGIB is often located in the small bowel. The predominant lesions responsible for OGIB and identified by IOE were vascular lesions, which represented 61% (n = 227) of findings, as described previously.24,25 The remaining lesion types were as follows: benign ulcers in 19% (n = 70), tumors in 10% (n = 36), and diverticula in 4.0% (n = 15).
Intraoperative enteroscopy in the management of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
2013, Digestive and Liver DiseaseCitation Excerpt :These results confirm that the source of bleeding is often located in the small bowel. As it has been previously reported for small bowel lesions in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding patients [1,59], the predominant documented lesions responsible for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in the 15 studies are vascular lesions, which represent 61% (n = 217). The remaining lesion types are as follows: benign ulcers are 18.5% (n = 66), tumours are 10.1% (n = 36), and diverticula are 4.2% (n = 15).
Video capsule endoscopy: What is the future?
2010, Gastroenterology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Arteriovenous malformations or angioectasias account for most of the lesions, followed by SB tumors, drug-related lesions, and CD.18,21 Several factors have been identified for selecting patients with OGIB in whom the risk of detecting a lesion is high: a serum hemoglobin level less than 10 g/dL, an ongoing overt bleeding (within 15 days), the presence of anemia or recurrent bleeding for more than 6 months, the occurrence of more than 1 episode of bleeding, the coexistence of renal insufficiency, and an occult bleeding with continuous positive FOBT results.18,19,21–23 Should all patients with an OGIB be investigated?
