Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of transparent cap-fitted endoscopy in improving diagnostic yield of Barrett's esophagus(BE).Methods A total of 168 patients with endoscopieally suspected BE were randomly divided into cap group(n=60)and control group(n=108).A transparent cap-fitted endoscopy Was applied in cap group to take biopsy,while a routine one was used in control group,and 2 biopsies from suspected lesions were collected in each patient.BE was diagnosed in the presence of columnar epithelium and the diagnostic rate was compared between 2 groups.Results The diagnostic rates of BE were 83.3%(50/60)and 69.4%(75/108)in cap and control group,respectively(P＜0.05).Conclusion The lesions at cardia Call be exposed clearly with capped endoscopy,which facilitates localized biopsy and BE diagnosis.
