Esophageal VaricesEsophageal Capsule Endoscopy in Evaluating Esophageal Varices in Cirrhosis: Current Perspectives on Screening (Accreditation Expired)
Faculty: Fredric D. Gordon, MD | Hugo E. Vargas, MD
CME credit hours: 2.0
Portal hypertension and esophageal varices are two of the main complications of liver cirrhosis. Bleeding from esophageal varices causes death in about 20% of cases. Current international guidelines recommend conventional endoscopic screening (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) for patients with cirrhosis every few years to detect esophageal varices. Recent innovations in capsule endoscopy show promise that it can be an accurate diagnostic tool in screening these patients.

APillCampplying Innovations in Capsule Endoscopy to Clinical Practice (Accreditation Expired)
Faculty: Glenn Eisen, MD, MPH | Prateek Sharma, MD
CME Credit hours: 2.0
Every year, millions of Americans undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs) to detect conditions such as GERD, Barrett's Esophagus, chronic heartburn, and esophageal varices. A new technology called capsule endoscopy can aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal conditions in a less invasive and more time effective manner. Use of this device for widespread screening may lead to an increase in the number of patients evaluated for gastroesophageal disease. This program will review several gastroesophageal diseases as well as provide an overview of capsule endoscopy in evaluating these diseases as well as Crohn's disease.
