Key Points

  • 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.
