Evaluation of confocal laser endomicroscopy for diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus in vivo
Objective To evaluate the application of confocal laser endomicroscopy for diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) in vivo. Methods Patients suspected to suffer from BE by video endoscopy underwent examinations of esophagus with fluorescein-aided confocal endomicroscopy. Images obtained from each site were stored digitally and targeted biopsies were obtained at the same location. The results of confocal endoscopic images and pathological results of the biopsy were compared. Results A total of 73 mucosal sites in 23 patients were examined by confocal endomicroscopy. Confocal endomicroscopy revealed Barrett’s esophagus with the sensitivity of 95.6%
the specificity of 96.4%
the positive predictive value of 97.7%
the negative predictive value of 93.1%
and the accuracy of 95.9%. Conclusion Confocal endomicroscopy can diagnose BE in vivo with high accuracy and can facilitate rapid diagnosis of BE during routine endoscopy.
