Percutaneous gastrostomy for enteral feeding is a safe and effective procedure, with a 97% success rate in elderly patients. This X-ray-guided technique is recommended over surgical methods.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Context:

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy is a common procedure for enteral feeding in patients unable to swallow.
  • Elderly patients with neurological conditions like stroke, dementia, and Parkinson's disease often require nutritional support.
  • X-ray-guided percutaneous gastrostomy has been utilized for enteral feeding.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of X-ray-guided percutaneous gastrostomy for enteral feeding in elderly patients.
  • To compare X-ray-guided percutaneous gastrostomy with other gastrostomy methods.

Summary:

  • 71 X-ray-guided percutaneous gastrostomy procedures were performed over 3 years in patients aged 66-93, primarily due to swallowing difficulties from neurological conditions.
  • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate (97%), with low rates of major complications (1.4% peritonitis).

  • Mortality within 30 days was attributed to underlying conditions, not the procedure itself.

    • Impact:

    • X-ray-guided percutaneous gastrostomy is presented as a quicker, safer, and more cost-effective alternative to surgical gastrostomy.
    • This technique is suggested as a preferred method for gastrostomy formation, even compared to endoscopic percutaneous gastrostomy.
    • This study marks the first report of this technique in the Hebrew medical literature.
