Abstract

Percutaneous gastrostomy feeding tube placement (PEG tube) is a fairly common procedure performed in hospitals by Interventional Radiologists, Surgeons and Gastroenterologists. Complications such as bleeding, infection albeit rare are some of the potential immediate complications of a PEG tube placement. A more feared complication of a placement of a PEG tube is placement through another organ such as the colon or liver. We describe a case whereby Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) was used to manage such a complication.
