Abstract
Major innovation into how we pursue diagnosis and therapies for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases is urgently needed to seek better, less invasive, and less costly innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the GI tract. Learning from prior paradigm shifts in cardiac and vascular we present here several initial steps we have undertaken to follow the endoluminal path, using advanced imaging methods, including endoscopy, and data management with avoidance of entry into a body cavity when possible. We will review the benefit and ease of incorporating routine fluoroscopy with endoscopy to improve safety and efficiency. We describe the development of "hybrid" procedure rooms for GI interventions and rationale for their use. We also emphasize the importance of collaborating with interventional radiologists, software engineers, and data specialists. We predict major improvement in outcomes in both diagnosis and treatment will follow.
