A novel ballooned-tip percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy tube: a pilot study.
Gastrointest Endosc. 2013 Jul; 78(1):154-7.GE

Abstract

BACKGROUND

The tip of currently available percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEGJ) tubes frequently migrates back into the stomach.

OBJECTIVE

To study the safety of a novel, ballooned-tip, PEGJ tube and assess the risk of retrograde migration into the stomach within 3 weeks of placement.

DESIGN

Prospective clinical study (NCT01551095).

SETTING

Tertiary-care center.

PATIENTS

Seven patients who required post-pyloric feeding were included.

INTERVENTION

Placement of PEGJ feeding tubes.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS

Position of the PEGJ, abdominal radiograph findings, adverse events.

RESULTS

Seven patients underwent placement of self-propelled PEGJ tubes during the study period. Technical success was achieved in all patients (100%). All procedures were rated as technically simple, and jejunostomy tubes were placed in <5 minutes during all procedures. Abdominal radiographs showed that the jejunostomy tubes were in the jejunum in all 7 patients at both 1 and 3 weeks after tube placement.

LIMITATIONS

Small number of patients and short follow-up.

CONCLUSION

Ballooned-tip PEGJ feeding tubes were safe and easy to place. The presence of the balloon prevented migration into the stomach. Ballooned-tip PEGJ tubes have the potential to eliminate the need for hospital readmission and repeat endoscopies for retrograde tube migration, and this may result in large systemic cost savings.
