Percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate success and complication rates of percutaneous radiological gastrostomy (PRG).

Method: The patients who had PRG in our interventional radiology unit between June 2012 and December 2018 were included in the study. Patients’ procedure reports and images were evaluated retrospectively. Patients’ age, gender, diagnosis, technical success and rate of complications of the procedure were the research parameters.

Results: A total of 23 patients were referred for PRG. (mean age 63.1 years range: 20-90 years) Indications for PRG were head- neck cancer, other cancers, stroke and other neurologic disorders in 9 (39.2%), 6 (26.1%), 5 (21.7%) and 3 (13%) patients, respectively. 4 patients had replacement with a new gastrostomy catheter and 19 patients had PRG for the first time. In the present study technical success rate was 100%. In 5 patients minor complications were occured in 30-day follow up (21.7%). 3 patient died due to other comorbidities. There were no major complications.

Conclusions: PRG is a practical and safe procedure with a high success and low complication rates in patients with a need of enteral feeding.
