The main complication of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is the blocking of the capsule by a gastrointestinal stenosis. The "patency capsule" is a self-dissolving capsule that is the same size as the video capsule. It contains a radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag that allows it to be detected by a scanning device placed on the abdominal wall. When its passage is blocked by a stenosis, the patency capsule dissolves in 40-80 hours after ingestion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of this system in patients with suspected intestinal stenosis but also requiring VCE.
