AbstractAfter gastrectomy, the remnant stomach, a small stomach behind the lateral segment of the liver, is thought to be a relative contraindication to receiving a percutaneous endoscopy-guided gastrostomy (PEG). We successfully performed a percutaneous duodenostomy in a case with remnant stomach. We used a transhepatic pull method with computed tomography (CT) guidance and real-time visualization by using ultrasound (US) and an endoscopy. The procedure was as follows: 1. Full stretching of the remnant stomach; 2. Insertion of a fine injection needle into the duodenal lumen through the lateral segment of the liver without an intrahepatic vascular and biliary injury using real-time visualization through US; 3. Confirmation of the location of the fine needle using abdominal CT, which showed the fine needle penetrating through the lateral segment and the duodenal lumen; 4. Insertion of the thick needle of the PEG kit just laterally of the fine needle; 5. Confirmation of the location of the thick needle using a repeated CT; 6. Endoscopic confirmation of the location of the two needles; 7. Changing the direction of the thick needle using guidance with endoscopy, inserting the thick needle into the duodenal lumen, and removing the fine needle; 8. Insertion of the guide wire through the thick needle; and 9. Placement of the PEG tube using the pull method. Using a real-time US scan, we detected the puncture of the anterior wall of the duodenum or stomach and avoided intrahepatic major vascular and biliary injuries.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
