Safety of wireless capsule endoscopy in patients with implantable cardiac devices

Abstract: Background and Aim Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has become an increasingly utilized imaging modality for the evaluation of gastrointestinal bleeding. There is a paucity of data evaluating the safety and use of WCE in patients with implantable cardiac devices. Methods A retrospective chart review of all patients who had a WCE at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL, USA completed between January 2007 and December 2016 identified patients with internal cardiac devices and obscure gastrointestinal … Show more

“…The development of miniaturization with lower power and the development of low-power-based implants is needed. In addition, strong electric fields and magnetic fields can lead to malfunctions of active implant devices such as artificial heart pacemakers, artificial eyes, and artificial heart, and problems must be solved [24][25][26].…”

“…VCE has minimal associated complications, with the most common being capsule retention in 1.4% of cases, and no reported patient deaths ( 2 ). In adult patients with a VAD and other cardiac devices, such as a pacemaker, VCE has not been associated with device-related interference ( 3 ). The role of VCE in pediatric patients with VAD is not defined due to a lack of data and, therefore, we present a case of a pediatric patient on VAD support who presented with GI bleeding and was investigated with VCE.…”
