Radiologists now effectively place long-term gastrostomy tubes for nutritional support, often at a lower cost than traditional surgical or endoscopic methods. This review details their technique, patient selection, and potential complications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Long-term gastrostomy tubes are crucial for nutritional support.
  • Traditionally, placement was performed by surgeons and endoscopists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the increasing role of radiologists in gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy device placement.
  • To outline the technique, patient selection, and complication management for radiologist-placed devices.

Main Methods:

  • Radiological technique for gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy placement.
  • Literature review of existing studies on radiologist-led procedures.

Main Results:

  • Radiologists can place gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy devices effectively.
  • Radiologist placement is often associated with lower costs compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional radiology offers an effective and cost-efficient alternative for long-term nutritional support device placement.
  • Comprehensive understanding of technique, patient selection, and complications is essential for successful outcomes.
