Abstract:
The present article describes our experience and evolution of 96 patients who underwent 96 percutaneous gastrostomies with fluoroscopic control. In 74 cases (75.5%), the procedure was performed in the out patient setting. There was technical success in 100%. 17.3% (n = 17) of the patients had permeability problems. There was an accidental catheter exit in 2% (n = 2) of the cases, and gastro-esophageal reflux in 9.1% (n = 9).
