Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy with endoscopic push-type gastrostomy tubes using CT and fluoroscopic guidance. Percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy using CT and fluoroscopic guidance with push-type tubes is a safe and effective means of gastric feeding that has few complications and offers an alternative to introducer-placed gastrostomy tubes.
