Capsule Endoscopy in a Patient with an Implanted CCM System and an Implantable Defibrillator

Capsule Endoscopy in a Patient with an Implanted CCM System and an Implantable Defibrillator

Wireless video capsule endoscopy (CE) is a modern diagnostic tool. Because of its use of digital radiofrequency, it is still relatively contraindicated in patients with implanted cardiac devices. We report the case of a patient with an Optimizer III system delivering cardiac contractility modulating...
