Multiple admissions, repeated transfusions, countless visits, yet no clear source of bleeding, was a major challenge. CT abdomen scans, Upper GI Endoscopy, and Colonoscopy revealed little beyond a benign colonic polyp that didn\u2019t explain the severity of his condition.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of stopping there, our clinicians at SRMS questioned the mismatch between the colonoscopy findings and clinical severity. However, choosing clinical wisdom over convenience, the team, led by <strong>Dr Shivam Gupta,<\/strong> Consultant, Department of Gastroenterology at SRMS IMS, pursued and identified a mid-gut evaluation and performed video<strong> Capsule Endoscopy<\/strong> that became the turning point, revealing <strong>multiple actively bleeding Angio ectasias in the proximal jejunum<\/strong>. This confirmed the small bowel as the source, with the colonic polyp serving as an incidental finding. What seemed like a dead end became a life-changing diagnosis, allowing focused treatment and sparing the patient from unnecessary procedures and interventions.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this case reflects how with advanced technology and innovative thinking, lives can be saved when it matters most!<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/embed\/083qyX4DUzo\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capsule Endoscopy is available at only a few centres in India, and Department of Gastroenterology at SRMS IMS now proudly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medical-news-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11168"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11170,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11168\/revisions\/11170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/srms.ac.in\/ims\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
