Introduction
• Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)-
▫ Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after both upper and lower endoscopies yield no evidence of a source.

Introduction
• OGIB accounts for around 5% of GIB and represents a diagnostic challenge.
• Approximately 80% arises from the small bowel.
• It accounts for significant hospital cost, patient morbidity and impact on quality of life.
![Page 4: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Introduction
It may have two distinct forms:
• Obscure occult bleeding- characterized by iron deficiency anemia with positive fecal occult blood.
• Obscure overt bleeding- characterized by recurrent episodes of clinically evident bleeding.

![Page 8: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Endoscopic Evaluation
• Complete endoscopic imaging of the small intestine produces great advancement in the diagnosis of OGIB
• Should begin with an upper and lower GI endoscopy.
• If negative, repeating the above procedures is recommended .
![Page 9: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Endoscopic EvaluationPush Enteroscopy
• Pediatric colonoscope or dedicated push enteroscope
• Examine upper tract to approximately 50–100 cm distal to the ligament of Trietz.
• The diagnostic yield is 53% (3% and 70%).
• Allows for diagnosis and therapy.
![Page 10: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Endoscopic Evaluation
• Higher yield compared to VCE for lesions in duodenum and proximal jejunum.
• Limitations: Looping and discomfort.
• It can be performed as second-look examination. (Conditional recommendation, moderate level of evidence.)

Endoscopic Evaluation
Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE)
• Painless and total SB evaluation
• Better diagnostic yield (45-77%) than SB series/PE
• Complete to cecum in 79-90%
• VCE should be considered as a first line procedure for SB evaluation after exclusion of upper and lower GI source (Strong recommendation, high level evidence)

Endoscopic Evaluation
Balloon Assisted Enteroscopy
• This procedure utilizes the principle of push and pull enteroscopy and there are two types
▫ Double Balloon Enteroscope (DBE)
▫ Single Balloon Enteroscope(SBE)
![Page 15: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Endoscopic Evaluation
Double Balloon Enteroscopy(DBE)
• It allows for complete visualization of the small intestine.
• DBE is significantly superior to push endoscopy with regards to the length of the small bowel visualized and detection of pathologic lesions.
![Page 16: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Endoscopic Evaluation
• DBE can be performed by either the ante grade approach or the retrograde approach.
• carries a risk of complications, especially during or after therapeutic interventions.
• The complications most frequently reported are pancreatitis, post polypectomy bleeding and intestinal perforation
![Page 17: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Endoscopic Evaluation
Single Balloon Enteroscopy(SBE)
• The diagnostic yield in patients with OGIB is about 60%.
• SBE has a comparable diagnostic yield to DBE along with similar therapeutic intervention possibilities.
• Advantages of a shorter duration of procedure and fewer complications like pancreatitis.
![Page 20: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Endoscopic EvaluationSpiral Enteroscopy
• Spiral enteroscopy is a new technique for visualization of the small bowel.
• The diagnostic yield is around 65%, same as DBE and SBE
• It can be performed in postgastric surgery patients
• Therapeutic procedure is possible via spiral enteroscopy
• Perforation may occur
![Page 21: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Intraoperative enteroscopy (IOE)
• It has quite a high diagnostic rate, which is between 60 and 88% for all IOEs performed.
• The role of IOE today is highly selective due to the high morbidity and mortality rates of the procedure compared to other modalities for diagnosing OGIB.

Radiological Evaluation
Technetium 99 m-labeled red blood cell nuclear Scan
• It has been used as a successful tool in diagnosing rapid GI bleed in actively bleeding patients.
• Its role in OGIB is limited because of low accuracy in localization [Voeller et al. 1991].
![Page 24: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Radiological Evaluation
Angiography
• The main benefit of angiography is the ability to perform therapeutic embolization with use of Gel foam and coils
• The complications of this procedure are psuedoaneurysm, arterial thrombosis, dissection and bowel infarction.
![Page 25: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Radiological Evaluation
Computed Tomography Enterography & Computed Tomography Enteroclysis (CTE)
• These can detect both vascular lesions and tumors.
• Diagnostic yield of 45%.
• Contraindications :
▫ Bowel obstruction▫ GI dysmotility▫ Kidney insufficiency
![Page 26: OBSCURE GI BLEEDINGbsmedicine.org/congress/2017/Prof._Rubina_Yasmin.pdf · •Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB)- Characterized by continuous or recurrent bleeding originating](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062415/5fd1c1ddf0470205d5106371/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• MR enterography and MR enteroclysis
• There are limited data on diagnostic yield for obscure GI bleeding, with one study suggesting lower sensitivity than CT techniques.

Radiological Evaluation
Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA)
• It involves catheterization of the abdominal aorta followed by helical CTA before and after intra-arterial injections of contrast medium.
• CTA is preferred over CTE or CT enteroclysis if an emergent examination is required as in cases with massive GI bleeding or when the patient cannot tolerate oral contrast
