Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and feasibility of the new technique,detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy(DS-MCE)for evaluating gastric and esophagus diseases.

Detailed description

Esophageal capsule endoscopy(ECE)provides a novel noninvasive approach to visualize the esophagus.The main drawback for the use of ECE is its unreliable transit time which often renders an inadequate visualization of the esophagus.Thus investigators have developed the detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy(DS-MCE) which can control the movement of the capsule through the string. This study is a prospective, single-centered, self-controlled pilot study.Outpatients who have esophagus symptoms will take conventional endoscopy examination and DS-MCE successively.

Conditions

• Outpatients

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	DS-MCE	During the DS-MCE examination,the capsule is allowed to travel down into gastric cardia,from where the string is slowly pulled to allow the capsule to view the esophagus retrogradely.
