RESUMO

Gastrointestinal angiodysplasias (GIADs) are the most common causes for suspected small bowel bleeding. Fifty percent of GIADs do not need treatment due to bleeding cessation, while 45% have high re-bleeding rates, that significantly impact patient outcome and health resource utilization. We suspected that this high re-bleeding rate occurs because not all lesions are detected with present standard of care. This study evaluates whether device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) utilizing the Endocuff (EC) device could improve GIAD detection. A retrospective chart review of a prospective data collection was performed from January 2006 to December 2018 at VA Loma Linda Healthcare System (VALLHCS) on both inpatients and outpatients referred for active and chronic suspected small bowel bleeding. The patients were initially monitored for bleeding lesions via video capsule endoscopy (VCE) after negative upper and lower endoscopy. GIADs observed between 0% to 40% small bowel transit time (SBTT) were referred for push enteroscopy (PE) with and without (±) the EC device. Twenty-five consecutive patients underwent PE ± EC. No patient had VCE done after PE ± EC. Using PE-EC, GIADs were detected in 9 of 25 (36%) of patients. Importantly, PE+EC detected GIADs in 23 of 25 (92%) patients. The sum of GIADs detected without EC was 26 ± 0.06 vs. 112 ± 0.2 using EC. The average detection rate for PE without EC was significantly lower (1.04 ± 0.06, mean ± SE) as compared to PE with EC (4.48 ± 0.23, mean ± SE, p<0.0005). Additionally, a positive correlation (r=0.51) between capsule enteroscopy (CE) location of GIADs and SBTT was found. The EC device increases the detection of GIADs in the proximal small bowel. We also reconfirm that the location of bleeding GIADs are within the reach of the push enteroscope (PE). Finally, PE + EC may also reduce GIAD miss rates, which may play a role in the reduction of re-bleeding episodes.
