CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous gastrostomy with loop gastropexy and peel-away sheath trocar technique in 31 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients

Abstract: Initial results suggest that the described technique under CT guidance is feasible and safe and may especially be advantageous in cases where endoscopic gastrostomy and sedation are contraindicated.

“…According to the results of Zopf et al, insertion of 9F PEG/PEJ tubes is related to lower complication rates and mortality risk 30 . Similar results concerning major or minor complications were reported by other groups 6 , 31 33 . In the literature, the incidence of major PEG complications has been reported at 1%–3% to as high as 9%; the incidence of minor complications is more widely varied, ranging from 16%–50% 34 .…”

“…Some authors had been reported the method of computed tomography (CT) guidance or CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous gastrostomy [ 3 , 5 , 6 ]. In these reports, the patients underwent the insufflation by a nasal tube in the gastric lumen and then finished the gastrostomy by CT guided.…”

“…The latter would increase significantly in the case of the real-time CT-fluoro, whereby the interventionalist would have his own hands immediately next to or even in the direct beam path with few possible protective measures. De Bucourt et al calculate the radiation exposure for the radiologist using real-time CT fluoro at 0.6 μSv per 5 s, assuming personal radiation protection clothing and a distance of 50 cm gantry clearance [24]; however no indication is made of the actual required fluoroscopy duration.…”
