https://www.selleckchem.com/ Video capsule endoscopy and device-assisted enteroscopy are complementary technologies. Capsule endoscopy is a highly acceptable technology with high diagnostic yield that can guide a subsequent enteroscopy approach. This article aims to focus on the role of video capsule endoscopy as a prelude to deep enteroscopy with a focus on the strengths and limitations of either approach.The cause of small intestinal bleeding (SIB) may be elusive despite exhaustive testing. This article describes the current understanding of SIB regarding evaluation, with emphasis on the use of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) as a diagnostic procedure. This article addresses the utility of provocative testing in challenging cases and the performance of endoscopic procedures on active antithrombotic therapy. Specific recommendations accompany this article, including use of antithrombotic agents to stimulate bleeding when clearly indicated; performance of endoscopic procedures on active antithrombotic therapy; and progressive adoption of VCE and device-assisted enteroscopy in the inpatient setting.Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a crucial adjunct to conventional endoscopy in small intestinal bleeding, with a high positive and negative predictive value. Timing is critical in VCE, with earlier deployment associated with improved diagnostic yield. VCE is also useful as a first-line diagnostic modality in the evaluation of acute gastrointestinal bleeding, with accumulating evidence demonstrating expedited VCE can increase diagnostic yield, reduce unneeded admissions, and overall improve patient care. In resource-limited settings, first-line VCE also can reduce unneeded procedures and protect staff from dangerous exposures.Video capsule endoscopy has an essential role in the diagnosis and management of small bowel bleeding and is the first-line study recommended for this purpose. This article reviews the risk factors for small bowel bleeding, optimal timing for video caps
