We describe 2 cases in which video capsule endoscopy was performed remotely using TeleInGEstion Remote Video Capsule Endoscopy (TIGER VCE), given limited access to endoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The patients ingested the CapsoCam capsule during a televisit, and the video was subsequently reviewed remotely by the physician. TIGER VCE was used to diagnose a benign etiology of melena and used to confirm a diagnosis of Crohn's disease before the initiation of biologic therapy. These cases demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TIGER VCE. We feel that this technique may be considered as a standard ingestion technique in the future.
我们描述了2例在2019年冠状病毒病大流行期间,由于内镜检查机会有限,使用远程摄入式远程视频胶囊内镜(TIGER VCE)进行远程视频胶囊内镜检查的病例。患者在远程医疗会诊期间吞服了CapsoCam胶囊,随后医生对视频进行了远程查看。TIGER VCE被用于诊断黑便的良性病因,并在开始生物治疗前用于确诊克罗恩病。这些病例证明了TIGER VCE的安全性和有效性。我们认为,这种技术未来可能会被视为一种标准的摄入技术。
