Abstrakt: Abstract: Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG) and radiologically inserted gastrojejunostomy (RIG) are both safe and effective techniques for gastrojejunal tube placement. The authors compared these 2 procedures in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) who required the continuous intrajejunal delivery of a levodopa/carbidopa gel suspension (LCIG). Methods: Outcomes were retrospectively collated from 30 PEG and 12 RIG procedures performed at 2 centers in patients with advanced PD for the delivery of LCIG. Results: Baseline clinical characteristics, incidence of early severe adverse events, late major complications, dropout, and the mean time‐lapse of tube replacements were comparable in the PEG and RIG groups. Conclusion: The current results suggest that, in patients with PD, the RIG technique is as safe and effective as the endoscopic procedure, and it can be considered a valid option for patients who require LCIG when the endoscopic procedure is not available or unfeasible.
