A 79‐year‐old woman with deep vein thrombosis was referred for evaluation of the source of the obscure gastrointestinal bleeding by capsule endoscopy (CE) before anticoagulant therapy. She had iron deficiency anemia, which necessitated transfusions (approximately 2 units per month). Her hemoglobin level was 82 mg/L, whereas her mean corpuscular volume was 72 fL. The results of the investigations for the source of the obscure gastrointestinal bleeding were negative, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. Her past medical history included arrhythmia and atrioventricular block. A cardiac pacemaker (Biotronik, Talos DR, bipolar, DDDR mode, Germany) was inserted, due to atrioventricular block, about two and a half years ago. We did not observe any adverse events when we carried out the CE procedure in our patient with implanted cardiac pacemaker. In addıtıon, we did not find any technical abnormalities or interference with the capsule endoscopic images.
