Introduction MSE with foot-pedal controlled spiral overtube facilitates progression by clockwise rotation. As MSE has only been tested diagnostically by experienced operators at referral centers, general applicability needs confirmation.
Description 81 year-old female with chronic anemia and occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Capsule endoscopy reveals jejunal ulcerated polyp but conventional enteroscopy fails to reach it. After relapsing acute GI bleeding, MSE is performed by a novice operator reaching past the tattoed prior maximal insertion-depth, allowing uneventful saline-asssisted jejunal polypectomy.
Conclusion We present the first jejunal polypectomy with MSE performed by a non-expert enteroscopist. This experience fulfilled expectations and helped a challenging patient.
