Radiologic guided percutaneous gastrojejunostomy (PGJ) showed a higher success rate and fewer complications than percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). PEG procedures were faster and less costly, but PGJ offered better long-term outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement is crucial for patients requiring long-term enteral nutrition or gastrointestinal decompression.
  • Neurologic impairment and head and neck neoplasms are primary indications for gastrostomy.
  • Comparing radiologic and endoscopic placement methods is essential for optimizing patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of radiologic guided percutaneous gastrojejunostomy (PGJ) versus percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG).

Main Methods:

  • A randomized trial comparing PGJ (n=66) and PEG (n=69) was conducted.
  • Patients received gastrostomy for prolonged enteral nutrition (97%) or decompression (3%).
  • Follow-up included 30-day and long-term assessments of success rates and complications.

Main Results:

  • PGJ achieved a 100% success rate, significantly higher than PEG's 91% (P = .014).
  • PEG procedures were faster (24 min) than PGJ (53 min) (P = .001).
  • PGJ had fewer overall complications (33 vs 45), notably less pneumonia (P = .013) and fewer long-term tube issues (17 vs 4, P = .007).

Conclusions:

  • PGJ demonstrates superior success rates and a lower complication profile, particularly regarding pneumonia and long-term tube issues.
  • PEG offers advantages in procedural speed and initial cost, but these may be offset by higher complication-related expenses.
  • The choice between PGJ and PEG should consider patient-specific factors and the trade-offs between procedural efficiency and complication rates.
