Capsule Endoscopy and Deep Enteroscopy: Indications for the Practicing Clinician
Gastroenterology, 10/05/09

Gerson LB – Approximately 5% of patients presenting with acute or chronic gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage will have a responsible source located in the small intestine. For patients residing in the United States or Europe, lesions most responsible for small bowel hemorrhage include arteriovenous malformations in 30%–40%, ulcerations, other vascular disorders including Dieulafoy lesions, and small bowel neoplasms in 1%–3% of patients. In Japan and Asia, small bowel ulcerations and tumors are more likely to be causal.
