Image-guided placement of percutaneous de novo low-profile gastrojejunostomy tubes in the pediatric population: a study of feasibility and efficacy

Background De novo low-profile gastrojejunostomy tubes in pediatric patients offer less external catheter bulk and decreased propensity for dislodgement as children become more mobile. While small cohort studies have evaluated de novo placement of coaxial, adjustable-length, percutaneous gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes in children, placement of de novo low-profile GJ tubes in pediatric patients has not been analyzed.
