Core Tip	Crohn’s disease (CD) affects the small bowel in up to 60% of patients, but evaluation of small bowel disease is often difficult. Balloon assisted enteroscopy (BAE) can evaluate the small bowel but its safety and diagnostic utility is not established. This systematic review includes 73 studies reporting on 1812 patients undergoing 2340 procedures to evaluate its safety and possible utility. We found that diagnostic BAE in CD had a similar rate of perforation as diagnostic BAE for all indications, suggesting BAE is a safe method for small bowel evaluation in CD.
