Conversion of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy to Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy under Fluoroscopic Guidance for Debilitated Elderly

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the value of the conversion of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) to percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) under fluoroscopic guidance for the debilitated elderly.
      Methods  The clinical data of 12 debilitated elderly patients who underwent the conversion of PEG to PEJ under fluoroscopic guidance from January 2009 to April 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.
      Results  Technical success was achieved in all these patients after 16 times of conversion. The procedure time was 8 to 32 minutes (mean:18 minutes). No complications occurred.
      Conclusion  Conversion of PEG to PEJ under fluoroscopic guidance is safe and feasible.
