Supplementary Material for: Hybrid Endoscopic/Fluoroscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement: Case Report of a Novel Technique

We report the case of a 60-year-old female with a history of perforated gastric ulcer, abdominal abscesses, enterocutaneous fistula, and small bowel obstruction requiring durable gastric decompression prior to delayed fistula takedown. The patient had contraindications to or failed attempts at traditional gastrostomy approaches (surgical, endoscopic, interventional radiology). Gastrostomy was successfully performed via a novel technique combining interventional radiology and endoscopic placement. In certain patients with complex presentations, a hybrid approach to gastrostomy tube placement using fluoroscopy and endoscopy may prove a viable alternative when traditional methods are contraindicated or unsuccessful.
