The endoscopic evaluation and management of small intestinal diseases continue to evolve and expand. The advent of small bowel wireless capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy with either a double- or single-balloon enteroscope now allows complete endoscopic visualization of the entire small intestine and enables access for endoscopic interventions such as biopsies or hemostasis for most of the small bowel. New endoscopic techniques are available to treat proximal malignant small bowel obstruction, including intraluminal stents and endoscopic gastrojejunal stents.

Background And Aims: Evaluation of deep remission in Crohn's disease (CD) can be challenging when the disease is confined to the small intestine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of through-the-scope EUS during double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE-EUS) in distinguishing small-bowel CD patients in endoscopic remission from those with active disease.

Methods: Patients who underwent DBE-EUS were divided into groups of endoscopic remission and endoscopic activity according to segmental Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD).
