Gertjan Rasschaert: RAC as a Predictor of Helicobacter Pylori Absence Using White-Light Endoscopy

Gertjan Rasschaert, Medical Doctor and Consultant specializing in Gastrointestinal Oncology and Gastroenterology at UZ Leuven, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:

“In a previous life I did some endoscopy research. This is a nice souvenir from back in the days when I was obsessed with Helicobacter pylori (Hp).

Point is: RAC (regular arrangement of collecting venules) is super easy to learn. When you spot a multitude of small Mercedes star shaped vessels at the lesser curvature, proximally of the angulus, there is little need or added value of performing gastric biopsies for Hp. Seeing is knowing.”
