Abstract
In our first clinical experience, we have found that Retrograde Tethered Capsule Endomicroscopy (R-TCE) was able to be advanced ~ 30 cm in 3 minutes in the colon of an unsedated study subject. R-TCE imaging enabled full circumferential OCT visualization of 96.60 ± 0.22 (95% CI) of the human colon wall. 3D rendered flythroughs of R-TCE OCT images demonstrate comprehensive visualization behind colonic folds where pre-neoplastic lesions may be missed by colonoscopy. The R-TCE procedure was well-tolerated, there were no complications, and a sigmoidoscopy conducted after the procedure did not show any R-TCE-related mucosal damage.
