This research aims to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of venting percutaneous transesophageal gastrostomy (PTEG) in patients with malignant bowel obstruction (MBO).
Evaluated clinical outcomes after venting PTEG in patients with MBO.
Compared short-term and long-term effects of the procedure.
Assessed catheter durability over time.
Venting PTEG showed favorable short-term clinical outcomes in MBO patients.
Long-term outcomes also remained positive for patients unsuitable for traditional gastrostomy.
Catheter durability was maintained effectively throughout the assessment period.
Abstract
Venting PTEG demonstrated favorable short- and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with MBO who were unsuitable for PG.
