| Core Tip |
Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) is a common complication for patients receiving left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Although video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is frequently used to investigate OGIB, there is limited data on the safety and usefulness of VCE in LVAD recipients. We found that VCE can be safely performed in LVAD recipients with OGIB and with a 40% diagnostic yield. However, the results of VCE and the subsequent management driven by VCE did not affect the rate of recurrent GIB. Endoscopic intervention thus should be used judiciously, and alternative ways of management should be considered in LVAD patients with OGIB. |
