Incidence of bleeding lesions within reach of conventional upper and lower endoscopes in patients undergoing double‐balloon enteroscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding

Abstract

The frequency of non-SB lesions definitely explaining the source of GIB in patients referred for DBE was 24.3%. Therefore, repeat esophago-gastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and ileocolonoscopy should be taken into consideration before DBE.
