Abstract
A ferromagnetic T-fastener is often used in children during gastrostomy procedures. We describe the experience with the use of a new gastropexy device (two parallel needles with a snare) that uses a non-ferromagnetic anchor during primary percutaneous retrograde radiologic gastrostomy insertion in four children with a mean age of 6years and 6months (range: 2years and 11months to 9years and 6months). The new gastropexy device was safe and effective in children. It is advantageous for children requiring magnetic resonance (MR) examinations soon after gastrostomy insertion, especially in view of MR-related implications that result from the use of a ferromagnetic T-fastener.
