Conditions

Barrett Esophagus

Brief summary

The hypothesis is that the addition of a transparent cap to the end of the endoscope will increase the detection and diagnostic yield of visible lesions in Barrett's esophagus. Thus, the goal of this tandem design trial is to compare the diagnostic yield (DY) of cap assisted endoscopy with that of conventional endoscopy using high definition-white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI) in patients with Barrett's esophagus.

Interventions

PROCEDUREEsophagogastroduodenoscopy with high definition-white light end endoscopy (HD-WLE) and narrow band imaging (NBI)

-The second endoscopist will be blinded to the results of the initial exam.

DEVICEOlympus Disposable Distal Attachment Cap

-The second endoscopist will be blinded to the results of the initial exam.
