Current and Future Use of Esophageal Capsule Endoscopy

Abstract: Capsule endoscopy can be a diagnostic option for patients with esophageal diseases who cannot tolerate esophagogastroduodenoscopy.Functional modifications of the capsule allow for thorough examination of the esophagus. Esophageal capsule endoscopy has so farfailed to show sufficient performance to justify the replacement of traditional endoscopy for the diagnosis of esophageal diseasesbecause the esophagus has a short transit time and common pathologies appear near the esophagogastric junction. However,technol… Show more

“…Another alternative endoscopic test uses a video capsule that photographs the gut; however, because the capsule traveses the oesophagus very quickly, this test is not very useful for Barrett's oesophagus. 5 Therefore, an important question is which patients with suspected Barrett's oesophagus should be screened with these tests.…”

“…During the examination, a capsule with dimensions of 26 × 11 mm 2 is swallowed and within a few minutes the patient is supine, raised to 30°, raised to 60°, and followed by an upright position. 15 For the better positioning of the wireless capsule in the esophagus and for time prolonging of its passing through the esophagus, modifications to the capsule endoscope are under development. These modifications are based on the wireless capsule's attachment to strings, which control the position of the capsule in the esophagus.…”
