Badr Al-Bawardy et al. Outcomes of double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy tube placement
Direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (DPEJ) tube placement using conventional endoscopes is known to fail in approximately one-third of patients. In a large cohort study comprising 94 patients, double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE)-assisted DPEJ tube placement was technically successful in 93% of patients. Post-procedural adverse events occurred in 9% of patients, with one serious adverse event.
