ABSTRACT
We report the first case of video capsule endoscopy usage to diagnose gastrointestinal bleeding in a pediatric patient on a ventricular assist device. The outcomes of this case are consistent with the findings of reports in adult patients, showing no patient complications, no pacemaker or ventricular assist device interactions, and successful identification of a gastrointestinal source of bleeding. Use of video capsule endoscopy in this patient changed the management plan and eliminated the need for further invasive investigations highlighting the potential utility of this diagnostic method in this patient population.
