| Abstract: | A catheter for gastrojejunostomy was modified to include a Cope-loop retention device in the proximal part of the catheter and multiple side holes in the distal part. The modification was made to prevent catheter dislodgment, which can lead to infusion of feeding solution into the peritoneum. The catheter has been used successfully in 71 patients, and only minor complications have been reported. |
