Title: Evaluation of Double-Balloon Enteroscopy in the Management of Type 1 Small Bowel
Vascular Lesions (angioectasia): A Retrospective Cohort Study

Reviewer's report:
Thank you for addressing some of my concerns in this revised version.
I am still not convinced that that ileum was reliably reached on all exams, in light of the mean
time the DBE's took and because there was no prospective protocol insisting on this.  As such, I
would consider removing this claim from the paper as I don't think reaching or not reaching the
ileum alters and affects the results of this study which are aimed only at reporting the outcomes
of pt's with SBVL treated during DBE.  This would also allow you to remove the recently added
section that has several English grammar errors including the following sentences: "In oral DBE
procedures, it was insisted to reach the ileum localization.   The endoscopist relied heavily on
mucosal characteristics to identify the ileum.  The duration of insertion and depth achieved were
noted as supporting measures, although they were not definitive on their own because of patient
variability in bowel anatomy."
