Insertion of RIG tubes is associated with a high technical success rate and low incidence of mortality. In this case report, a procedural pitfall associated with intraperitoneal-extragastric malposition is described. Rigorous assessment of abdominal radiographs, as well as aw...

متن کاملComparing open gastrostomy tube to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube in heart transplant patients.
INTRODUCTION Impaired wound healing due to immunosuppression has led some surgeons to preferentially use open gastrostomy tube (OGT) over percutaneous gastrostomy tube (PEG) in heart transplant patients when long-term enteral access is deemed necessary. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2005-2010) was queried for all heart transplant patients. Those receiving OGT were comp...
متن کاملComparison of open gastrostomy tube to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube in lung transplant patients
INTRODUCTION Lung transplant patients require a high degree of immunosuppression, which can impair wound healing when surgical procedures are required. We hypothesized that because of impaired healing, lung transplant patients requiring gastrostomy tubes would have better outcomes with open gastrostomy tube (OGT) as compared to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube (PEG). METHODS The Natio...
