Indications, diagnostic yield, and complication rate of balloon‐assisted enteroscopy during the first decade of its use in Korea

Previous studies that addressed the outcome of balloon‐assisted enteroscopy (BAE) were based on its early experience. The accumulated BAE experience over the last decade might affect its pattern of use and outcome. In order to evaluate the changes of BAE practice over time, we compared the indications, diagnostic yield, and complication rate between the early and late stages of BAE implementation.
