Summary

This is a pilot prospective single blind controlled trial comparing magnetically steerable gastric capsule endoscopy to conventional oesophagogastroduodenoscopy in diagnosing upper gastrointestinal pathology in patients with recurrent/refractory iron-deficient anaemia.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Magnetically steerable pill camera (Microcam Navi, Intromedic Ltd, Seoul, Korea)

Capsule endoscopy uses a swallowable pill camera which passes through the GI tract by the action of peristalsis. The procedure utilizes a battery powered wireless capsule to transmit images of the gastrointestinal tract as it passes through the small intestine. The images are later downloaded to a computer and reviewed by a trained physician. Magnetically steerable gastric capsule endoscopy uses a pill camera containing a small amount of magnetic material, that can be manoeuvred in the gut and intestine by the physician using a handheld magnet.

DEVICE

Flexible endoscope

The current standard for investigation of upper gastrointestinal disorders is flexible endoscopy; oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD), also known as gastroscopy.
