Capsule Endoscopy or Mesenteric Angiogram in Patients With Overt Gastrointestinal Bleeding (GIB) of Obscure Origin

Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Clinical Trial

Official title:
Capsule Endoscopy or Mesenteric Angiogram in Patients With Overt Gastrointestinal Bleeding of Obscure Origin: A Randomized Study

Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the diagnostic yield of mesenteric angiogram with CE in patients with active obscure GIB.

Clinical Trial Description

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) of obscure origin is a common conditions resulting in recurrent hospitalization and extensive investigations. Mesenteric angiogram is one of the standard radiological investigations for GIB of obscure origin, and its diagnostic yield ranged from 40-80%. Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a newly available investigation for small bowel examination, especially in bleeding of obscure origin. The diagnostic yield is particularly high in patients with ongoing bleeding. This is a prospective randomized study to compare the diagnostic yield of mesenteric angiogram with CE in patients with overt GIB of obscure origin. The results will help to define the optimal management strategy for this group of patients. ;
