VLE for Identification of Subsquamous Disease - Case Study

Patient History
This patient was a 68 year old man referred with short segment Barrett`s Esophagus (BE) with intramucosal carcinoma (IMC). At the referring center, previous resection of nodularity revealed Tla adenocarcinoma with negative margins. Subsequent surveillance biopsies yielded IMC, and triggered referral.

For the procedures described here, standard endoscopy with the addition of Volumetric Laser Endomicroscopy (VLE). using the NvisionVLE; Imaging System with Real-time Targeting, was performed to localize abnormalities and inform treatment.
