4 Definitions Obscure GI bleeding (OGIB) is defined as occult or overt bleeding of unknown origin that persists or recurs after an initial negative endoscopic evaluation including colonoscopy and EGD. Overt OGIB is defined as visible GI bleeding (eg, melena or hematochezia) and can be categorized further as active (ie, evidence of ongoing bleeding) versus inactive Bleeding. Occult OGIB is defined when there is no evidence of gross bleeding (eg, unexplained iron deficiency anemia suspected to be caused by GI blood loss). Fisher L et al. ASGE Standards of Practice.

8 Overt Obscure GI Bleeding Active Bleeding Inactive Bleeding Suspected Upper GI Bleeding Repeat EGDS or PE Negative Other GI Bleeding Capsule Endoscopy Deep Enteroscopy Push Enteroscopy and/or Colonoscopy Consider CT Enterography Or CT Angiography Because these tests are complementary, a combination may be required Consider Deep Enteroscopy Expecially for pts with surgically alter anatomy Consider CT Enterography or CT Angiography Negative Capsule Endoscopy and/or Scintigraphy Because these tests are complementary, a combination may be required Angiography Expecially for pts with massive bleeding and/or Colonoscopy Consider Provocative Testing Recurrent Bleeding Negative Consider Intraoperative Endoscopy No Recurrent Bleeding Occult OGIB Algorithm Fisher L et al. ASGE Standards of Practice. GIE 2010

9 Occult Obscure GI Bleeding Consider Trial of Empiric Iron Therapy Negative Small Bowel Evaluation Negative Consider Repeat EGDS/Colonoscopy Consider CT Enterography or CT Angiography Capsule Endoscopy Consider Deep Enteroscopy Several authors have suggested initial CE followed by Therapeutic BAE, if positive, as best strategy for increased yeald and improved treatment success Expecially for pts with altered anatomy or increased suspicion of angiectasia Negative Stable Continued Bleeding Observe Trial of Iron, if appropriate Repeat EGDS or PE and Colonoscopy Expecially if not previously repeated Repeat Capsule Endoscopy Expecially if GI Bleeding is now overt or if Hb decrease is 4 g/dl Deep Enteroscopy Fisher L et al.

19 CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY FOLLOWED BY SINGLE BALLOON ENTEROSCOPY IN CHILDREN WITH OBSCURE GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING: DIAGNOSTIC YIELD AND OUTCOME OF A COMBINED APPROACH. We prospectively enrolled all pediatric patients referred to our unit for OGIB and who underwent both CE and SBE from January 2009 and July All patients underwent before the enrolment esophagogastroduodenoscopy and ileocolonoscopy at least twice. MR-enterography was performed before CE in all patients to exclude stricture, to diagnose endoluminal mass/polyps and to direct the SBE insertion route. Meckel s scan was performed before CE in all patients with painful bloody stool and/or who had not performed a previous laparoscopy/laparotomy that excluded Meckel s diverticulum. Angiography has also been performed in patients during ongoing bleeding.
