Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients referred for magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in the participating center from June 2017 to November 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Magnetic steering of MCE was performed after standard gastric examination. Capsule endoscopy completion rate (CECR), gastric transit time (GTT), pyloric transit time (PTT) and rapid gastric transit rate (GTT ≤ 30 min) were compared with the historical control group enrolled from January 2017 to May 2017.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background and aims: Capsule endoscopy is currently available as a noninvasive and effective diagnostic modality to identify small bowel abnormalities, while the completion rate ranged from 75.1% to 95.6%. A novel magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) system could facilitate the capsule to pass through pylorus thereby reducing the gastric transit time (GTT). The investigators perform this study to determine the potential improvement in capsule endoscopy completion rate (CECR) under magnetic steering vs standard mode.

Methods: Patients referred for magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in the participating center from June 2017 to November 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Magnetic steering of MCE was performed after standard gastric examination. Capsule endoscopy completion rate (CECR), gastric transit time (GTT), pyloric transit time (PTT) and rapid gastric transit rate (GTT ≤ 30 min) were compared with the historical control group enrolled from January 2017 to May 2017.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control

The patients swallowed the capsule with water in the supine position. When the capsule reached the stomach, the capsule was lifted away from the posterior wall, rotated and advanced to the fundus and cardiac regions, and then to the gastric body, angulus, antrum and pylorus. After completing the stomach examination, the capsule moved automatically without magnetic control and entered the duodenum under physiological conditions. The position of the capsule was verified through real-time viewer.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Magnetic steering

After finishing the stomach examination as the control protocol, the capsule was lifted with the magnetic control, then rotating the capsule until the camera end oriented toward the pylorus . Next, the endoscopist could drag the capsule close to the pylorus with the guidance magnet robot, waiting for the open of pylorus. Once the pylorus opened, the capsule could enter the duodenum with gastric peristalsis.
