Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the method of choice in patients requiring long-term enteral tube feeding. In patients with intrathecal baclofen infusion therapy (IBT) pump implantation, infection via the skin and soft tissue may be an issue of concern. The introducer technique for gastrostomy tube insertion may be useful in reducing the risk of peristomal infection. Although the presence of a PEG tube has been reported as a risk factor for implantation site infection (for newly inserted IBT pumps), whether existing IBT pumps are at risk for infection during or after the placement of a PEG tube is not clear. We report a case where PEG was successfully performed using the introducer technique on a patient with an IBT pump implant.
经皮内镜下胃造口术(PEG)是需要长期肠内管饲患者的首选方法。对于接受鞘内注射巴氯芬治疗(IBT)泵植入的患者,经皮肤和软组织的感染可能是一个值得关注的问题。胃造口管插入的导入器技术可能有助于降低造口周围感染的风险。虽然已有报道称PEG管的存在是植入部位感染的一个风险因素(对于新插入的IBT泵),但现有IBT泵在PEG管放置期间或之后是否有感染风险尚不清楚。我们报告了一例使用导入器技术成功为一名植入IBT泵的患者实施PEG的病例。
