No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There were many approaches for patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Capsule endoscopy (CE), double-balloon endoscopy, deep small-bowel spiral enteroscopy, laparoscopy, computed tomography and angiography have been recommended as investigation. However, of these techniques, the evaluation and management of patients with OGIB remains a formidable challenge. We compared the diagnostic yield and long-term outcomes of patients with OGIB randomized to angiogram combination laparoscopy or angiogram alone.
