Abstract
Reliable delivery of enteral feeding beyond the ligament of Treitz is desirable in a number of medical conditions. Post-pyloric enteral nutrition with concomitant gastric decompression in selected patients may reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, improve nutritional status, prevent gut mucosal atrophy, and reduce overall costs.1 Physicians are frequently frustrated in their effort to endoscopically deliver a feeding tube deep into the small bowel because of retrograde migration on withdrawal of the endoscope.
