NCT04984863

Brief Summary

This study proposed for the first time the use of MCE to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment of gastroesophageal varices, and compared the examination results with the gold standard to explore whether MCE could replace the electronic gastroscopy as the preferred non-invasive evaluation method for the treatment of gastroesophageal varices.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluating the clinical usefulness of MCE in assessing the efficacy of gastro-oesophageal varices treated under gastroscopy.

    Comparing the value of MCE and gastroscopy in the grading of esophagogastric varices

    15-30 minutes

Study Arms (1)

magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy

EXPERIMENTAL

magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment of gastroesophageal varices

Device: Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy

Interventions

Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) is a non-invasive detection method independently developed in China that covers the whole digestive tract (except colon) mucosa.

magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy
