Abstract EN
Background and Study Aims.
Capsule endoscopy is an established tool for investigation of the small intestine.
Because of limited clinical experience in patients with cardiac devices, the Food and Drug Administration and the manufacturer recommended not to use capsule endoscopy in these patients.
The vast majority of investigations did not reveal any interference between capsule endoscopy and cardiac devices.
Methods.
Studies investigating interference between CE and cardiac devices were analysed.
For the review we considered studies published in English or German and indexed in Medline, as well as highly relevant abstracts.
Results.
In vitro and in vivo studies mainly revealed no interference between capsule endoscopy and cardiac devices.
Technical data of capsule endoscopy (Given Imaging) reveal that interference with cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillator is impossible.
Telemetry can interfere with CE video.
Conclusion.
The clinical use of capsule endoscopy (Given Imaging) is unproblematic in patients with cardiac pacemakers.
