Key takeaways:

• The diagnostic yields of video capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy for indications without bleeding were 53% and 61.7%.
• No difference in diagnostic yields in bleeding vs. non-bleeding indications.

Video capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy were safe and effective in the management of patients with indications other than suspected small bowel bleeding, including celiac disease and Crohn’s disease, researchers reported.
