Issues for accomplishing deep
enteroscopy
t
• Length of small intestine ( 400-600 cm)
• Active contractions
• Suitability for hooking / retraction /
pleating
• Loop formation
– Gastric
– Small bowel distension/ stretching of the
mesentery
– Diminish transmission of force to tip of the
endoscope
Balloon-assisted enteroscopy
(BAE)
Double Balloon Enteroscopy
• Described in 2001 (Fujinon, Yamamoto)
• First U.S.
U S cases in 2004
• Capable of ‘to
to-and-fro
and fro’ movement and
standard interventions
– Biopsy, thermal ablation, balloon dilation, injection, polypectomy
• DBE can potentially visualize the entire 400400

Longterm
g
outcomes in DBE for OGIB
• Retrospective cohort study, DBE performed in 200
consecutive patients with OGIB.
• DBE detected bleeding sources in 155 of 200 patients
(77.5%). The most frequent source detected was small
intestine ulcers/erosions. Patients who underwent DBE
within 1 month after the last episode of bleeding had a
better yield 84% vs 57%, P = .002).
• The overall rate of control of OGIB was 64%. Vascular
lesions of the small intestine had a lower rate of control
than those with other small intestine lesions ((40% vs
74%, P = .001).

• Increased likelihood of overt rebleeding:
transfusion requirement before DBE, multiple lesions,
and suspicious (not definite) lesions in patients with
vascular small bowel lesions.
