Summary
This study tested whether a wired magnetic capsule endoscopy system produces fewer airborne droplets than standard endoscopy when checking for esophageal varices in people with biliary atresia. Fifty participants underwent one of the two procedures. The capsule method does not require opening the mouth, which may lower infection risk. The study also compared how well each method detected varices.
