Balloon-Assisted Enteroscopy for Retrieval of Small Intestinal Foreign Bodies: A KASID Multicenter Study

Figure 1

Successful retrieval of a capsule endoscope (CE) using a basket. The CE was located at the ileum on the abdominopelvic computed tomography image (yellow arrow) (a). Fluoroscopy-guided double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) showing that the CE was impacted by stenosing ulceration associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use approximately 60 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve (b). Enteroscopic balloon dilation was performed using a through-the-scope balloon dilation catheter (CRE™ balloon catheter; Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) (c, d). After successful DBE-assisted balloon dilation, the capsule endoscope was retrieved using a basket (e, f).
