Abstract
This study aimed to assess the technical success and overall complication rate of percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) with single gastropexy using a separate tract from that used for tube placement. From January 2014 to December 2018, 636 patients (469 men, 167 women; mean age 66.8 years; age range, 22–98 years) underwent PRG using single gastropexy at a tertiary center. Preprocedural computed tomography (CT) was recommended if there were no data on the location of the stomach on previous CT. After a single anchor was applied, the PRG tube was inserted through a separate tract from that used for tube placement. The technical success rate and major and minor complications were retrospectively reviewed. The number of patients and percentages were used as descriptive statistics for evaluating the complication rate. The technical success rate of PRG with single gastropexy was 99.2% (631/636). There were 32 complications among the 631 procedures. There were 19 (3.0%) major complications, including peritonitis (n = 7), migration (n = 5), infection (n=4), malposition (n = 2), and bleeding (n = 1). There were 13 (2.1%) minor complications, including local infection (n = 11), malfunction (n = 1), and pneumoperitoneum (n = 1). The overall complication rate within 30 days of PRG placement was 4.1% (26/631). PRG with single gastropexy using a separate tract from that used for tube placement is technically feasible with a low complication rate. • Percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy with single gastropexy using a separate tract from that used for tube placement is technically feasible. • Complications including peritonitis and bleeding were comparatively low with the conventional technique.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
