Feasibility and Safety of a Novel Cable-Transmitted Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy System for Upper Gastrointestinal Examination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel cable-transmitted magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (CT-MCE) system for upper gastrointestinal examination.

Methods

Twenty-six participants (19 healthy volunteers and seven patients with gastrointestinal symptoms) willing to undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were recruited. Each participant underwent CT-MCE followed by conventional gastroscopy within 24 h. Maneuverability and visibility of the CT-MCE capsule in the upper gastrointestinal tract, adverse events, and discomfort during the procedure were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of CT-MCE for diagnosing upper gastrointestinal lesions were evaluated using conventional gastroscopy findings as the standard.
