The Agile® capsule has shown to be useful when evaluating the patency of the small bowel in patients prior to capsule endoscopy studies. It is a safe tool and a low rate of complications have been reported, highlighting symptomatic retention, although references in literature are scarce and it is only observed in 1.2% of the procedures. We present the case of a symptomatic retention of this device in a patient with previously known colonic Crohn's disease in who a small bowel study was indicated and was sent for prior patency test.
在进行胶囊内镜检查之前评估患者小肠通畅情况时，Agile®胶囊已被证明是有用的。它是一种安全的工具，据报道并发症发生率较低，主要是症状性滞留，尽管文献中的相关参考较少，且仅在1.2%的操作中观察到。我们报告了一例该装置在一名既往已知患有结肠克罗恩病的患者中出现症状性滞留的病例，该患者因需要进行小肠检查而被送去做术前通畅性测试。
