Contraindications to capsule endoscopy: do any still exist?
Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am.
2006 Apr.
Abstract
In patients requiring WCE most contraindications are relative and the procedure can be performed safely in almost all clinical settings. The only true remaining contraindications to capsule endoscopy are obstruction/pseudo-obstruction and pregnancy. Informed consent of the risks and benefits, including NNE, should be discussed with all patients undergoing WCE examination.
