Evaluation of double-balloon enteroscopy in the management of type 1 small bowel vascular lesions (angioectasia): a retrospective cohort study. Small-bowel angioectasia is commonly diagnosed and managed using double-balloon enteroscopy; however, rebleeding rates can vary significantly. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the clinical predictors of rebleeding in patients with small-bowel . To further investigate the clinical outcomes, the angioectasia group that required endoscopic treatment was divided into two subgroups based on the number of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) procedures performed. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to establish which predictor variables were significantly related to the recurrence. A total of 67 patients (mean age 68.1

Clinical value of using double balloon enteroscopy combined with endoscopic ultrasound to evaluate Crohn's disease of the small bowel: a retrospective study. Diagnosing and assessing Crohn's disease, which involves only the small bowel, is challenging. This study investigated the clinical value of combining double balloon enteroscopy with endoscopic ultrasound to evaluate this disease . This single-center retrospective study included patients with Crohn's disease of the small intestine between October 2022 and October 2023. Relevant clinical data were collected. Double balloon enteroscopy and ultrasound endoscopy of the small intestine were performed. Among the 50 patients, 10, 34, and 6 had mild, moderate, and severe active phase Crohn's disease, respectively. Ten patients scored between

A newly developed deep learning-based system for automatic detection and classification of small bowel lesions during double-balloon enteroscopy examination. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a standard method for diagnosing and treating small bowel disease. However, DBE may yield false-negative results due to oversight or inexperience. We aim to develop a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD

A randomized controlled trial of a through-the-scope stiffening wire to increase the depth of insertion during double-balloon enteroscopy. We investigated whether use of a stiffening wire increased insertion depth during double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). A total of 54 patients were randomized to the stiffening wire or the control group after reaching the maximum insertion depth using

Effectiveness of Capsule Endoscopy and Double-Balloon Enteroscopy in Suspected Complicated Celiac Disease. Complicated celiac disease (CCD) is a rare but severe condition with a poor prognosis. Guidelines recommend use of capsule endoscopy (CE) to explore the small bowel (SB), followed by a double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in selected cases with suspected CCD. Our study aimed to evaluate

Diagnostic efficacy of double-balloon enteroscopy in patients with suspected isolated small bowel Crohn's disease. Owing to the development of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and video capsule endoscopy (VCE) in recent years, direct visualization of the entire small intestinal mucosa has become possible. Because of the nonspecific symptoms and the anatomic location of the small bowel, diagnosis

Single incision laparoscopic assisted double balloon enteroscopy: a novel technique to manage small bowel pathology. Double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has revolutionised the diagnosis and treatment of small bowel (SB) conditions. However, deep SB insertion can be challenging in patients with a history of abdominal surgery and a two-step procedure is required when findings are not amenable

Outcomes and safety of double-balloon enteroscopy in small bowel diseases: a single-center experience of 1531 procedures. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has become a routine procedure in clinical practice for evaluation of small bowel diseases (SBDs).

Double-balloon enteroscopy-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of small-bowel varices: an international experience from 2 European tertiary centers (with videos). Small-bowel varices (SBVs) are an uncommon consequence of portal hypertension. Radiologic intervention is usually considered for first-line management. When radiologic intervention is not possible, management options become very limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE)-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of SBVs. This was a retrospective review of DBE-facilitated cyanoacrylate-injection endotherapy of SBVs (December 2015 to October 2016). Ten DBEs were performed in 6 patients (4 women; median age, 68.5 years). No radiologic or surgical options were

False-negative double-balloon enteroscopy in overt small bowel bleeding: long-term follow-up after negative results. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) performed to investigate overt small bowel bleeding can miss the source of bleeding. We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients with negative DBE results for suspected overt small bowel bleeding, which is defined in the current guidelines

Endoscopic balloon dilatation for benign hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture using short double-balloon enteroscopy in patients with a prior Whipple's procedure: a retrospective study.

Double balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy: expert vs. novice experience  Double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (DBE-ERCP) in post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients is a technically challenging procedure. We aimed to determine the success rate of DBE-ERCP performed

Transformation of jejunoileal follicular lymphoma into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma detected using double-balloon enteroscopy Jejunoileal follicular lymphomas (FLs) are rare and have been reported to undergo histological transformation (HT). We report a case of jejunoileal FL transformation into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). An 82-year-old woman presented with a 5.5 cm ulcerated jejunal mass, identified through double-balloon enteroscopy. The histopathology report revealed diffuse atypical lymphoid cells, which confirmed the presence of DLBCL. Neoplastic follicles confirmed the presence of FL. Genetic analysis revealed a match between the FL and DLBCL. Following a segmentectomy and chemotherapy, the patient is in remission. Based on this case, we should consider the possibility

Predictors for outcomes and readmission rates following double balloon enteroscopy: a tertiary care experience  The objectives of this study are to examine clinical characteristics of patients undergoing anterograde and retrograde double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) and to assess factors predicting positive diagnostic yield, therapeutic yield, and readmission.  We conducted a retrospective cohort

Effect of Double-Balloon Enteroscopy on Diagnosis and Treatment of Small-Bowel Diseases The diagnosis and treatment of small-bowel diseases is clinically difficult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of double-balloon enteroscopy in small-bowel diseases. The history and outcomes of 2806 patients who underwent double-balloon enteroscopy from July 2004 was not detected through one direction, examination through the other direction was performed as necessary. Eighty-four patients with small-bowel polyps, 26 with intestinal obstruction caused by enterolith, and 18 with bleeding from Dieulafoy's lesions in the small intestine were treated endoscopically. A total of 2806 patients underwent double-balloon enteroscopy, and no serious complications occurred

Jejunal Serrated Adenoma Diagnosed and Treated by Double-Balloon Enteroscopy Serrated polyps are most commonly located in the colorectum and have been well recognized as an important precursor lesion for colorectal cancer. Serrated adenoma in the small intestine has been reported more rarely but may represent a distinct morphological and biological subtype with malignant potential. Here, we present the case of a 65-year-old female who underwent double-balloon enteroscopy due to obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. A polyp sized 3.5 × 2.0 cm with a long pedicle in the jejunum, located 50 cm distal to the Treitz ligament, was detected. Endoscopic mucosal resection was done. The pathological results revealed a traditional serrated adenoma sized 3.5 × 2.2 cm.

A Small Jejunal Angioleiomyoma Detected by Double-Balloon Enteroscopy: A Case Report BACKGROUND Angioleiomyoma in the small intestine is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Only 7 cases of angioleiomyoma in the small intestine were reported in the English literature, with 4 of them causing gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis of angioleiomyomas in the small intestine before surgery is difficult. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 42-year-old man with recurrent melena who underwent repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy, without positive finding.
