Olympus received notification of literature titled "cap-assisted endoscopy increases ampulla of vater visualization in high-risk patients." the purpose of the study was to compare the rates of complete visualization of the ampulla of vater (av) using a cap assisted endoscopy (cae) approach to standard forward-viewing endoscopy (fve).Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) for av visualization was performed in 102 study patients >18 years old using fve followed by cae.Video recordings were blinded and randomly selected for independent expert endoscopic evaluation.Patient demographics: median age (years) 41.7+/- 14.4 and median body mass index (bmi) (kg/m2) 25.3+/-5.6).Of the study population, 62 were females.It was reported that during egd, cap displacement occurred in one patient.Per the literature, the cap was promptly recovered using biopsy forceps.
