Abstract:

The small bowel (SB) is the most common source of blood loss in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Without specific therapy 60-75% of patients with OGIB experience continued GI blood loss. The rate of recurrent OGIB after double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has been reported to be 40% at 30 months of follow up. The impact of single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) on the long-term outcomes of patients with OGIB has not been established.
