Description
Double balloon endoscopy/ enteroscopy (DBE) is a non-surgical approach that provides access to the entire inner mucosal surface of the small intestine for endoscopic visual examination, biopsy and treatment. DBE is being heralded as a breakthrough technology because accessing the deep small intestine endoscopically has largely been unsuccessful by conventional approaches. The purpose of this study was to to review the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of DBE and examine the potential social, fiscal and economic impact should it become a publicly funded health service in Alberta.
