This study looks back at results from a small camera pill (capsule endoscopy) used to find the source of bleeding in the digestive tract. It may help doctors better understand how well this test works for people with gastrointestinal bleeding.
This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
