Abstract EN
Endoscopic endoluminal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a novel and promising modality for Barrett's esophagus (BE) treatment.
Actually the only surveillance method after the ablation treatment is random biopsies throughout the whole treated area.
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a new endoscopic imaging tool that permits high-resolution microscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract.
The technology has garnered increasing attention because of its ability to provide real-time “optical” biopsy specimens, with a very high sensitivity and specificity.
This paper summarize the potential application of CLE in the surveillance of the reepithelialization of BE, after endoscopic RFA.
