Interventional Radiology • Interventional radiology is the medical specialty devoted to advancing patient care through the innovative integration of clinical and imaging-based diagnosis and minimally invasive therapy. Compared to surgery, IR has shorter recovery times and is less painful and less risky.
Interventional Radiology Percutaneous Catheters • The ideal management of percutaneous drainage catheters require three distinct categories of care • 1. Expert staff for evaluation and management of placement of appropriate size and type of catheter (if indicated). • 2. Close management of function, dressing/catheter position stability and sterility • 3. Appropriate evaluation for exchanging, upsizing, downsizing or removing catheter
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Case #1 • A 69 year old female is status post CVA. She has a long history of gastroparesis and GERD. During her swallowing evaluation, she shows free aspiration with all consistency of ingested food. What would be the best and safest long-term feeding tube for this patient? • Percutaneous Gastrostomy • Percutaneous Gastrojejunostomy • Surgical Jejunostomy • Nasojejunal tube • Nasogastric tube
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Gastrostomy Tube
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Indications for gastrostomy (G) or gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tube placement • Gastrostomy Tubes • Nutrition • Dysphagia • Cerebral vascular accident (CVA) • swallowing dysfunction • Ear, nose, throat (ENT) or neck malignancy • Dementia • comatose state
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Gastrostomy Tubes • Small bowel disease • Crohn's disease • Short gut syndrome • Gastric Decompression • Gastroparesis • Ileus • Obstruction secondary to malignancy
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Gastrojeunostomy tube
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Gastrojejunostomy Tubes: (Same as gastrostomy tubes, plus…) • Poor gastric emptying • Diabetes mellitus (DM) - gastroparesis • Partial gastric outlet obstruction • Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) • CVA • Trauma • Children (more common than adults, but not universal)
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Whether feeding tube should terminate in the stomach (G tube) or in the small bowel (GJ tube) controversial • G tubes • Allow bolus feedings • more convenient for ambulatory patients • large lumens with less frequent occlusion • G tubes have been associated with gastroesophageal reflux (GER)
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Prospective comparison of G and GJ tube placement by Hoffer et al • GJ tube placement had decreased incidence of post-procedural pneumonia • G tube placement was faster, cost less, and required less tube maintenance.
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Contraindications G/GJ tube placement • Absolute • S/P total gastrectomy • Gastric carcinoma • Uncorrectable coagulopathy • Relative • Ascites/Peritoneal dialysis • Gastric varices • Overlying viscera • Complex previous abdominal surgery.
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Ascites considered relative contraindication G / GJ tube • Fluid displace the stomach from abdominal wall • puncture difficult potentially dislodging the catheter following placement • high incidence of peri-catheter leakage following the procedure • Ultrasound guided paracentesis prior to procedure/with gastropexy • Reduce incidence peri-catheter leakage catheter dislodgement
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Prior partial gastrectomy can make G tube placement more difficult • Does not contraindicate the procedure • tube placement in patients partial gastrectomy can be performed successfully with only minor modifications of the standard procedure
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Results six recent large series fluoroscopy guided percutaneous gastrostomy / gastrojejunostomy tube placement • Technical success 95 to 100% • Most reporting technical success rates 99% better • 30 day mortalities adult patients 3.8 to 26%, • mortality attributable to procedure 0-2%. The major complication rate(including peritonitis, hemorrhage, tube migration, and sepsis) ranged from 0-6%,
Gastrointestinal Intervention • minor complication rates 3 to 21% • pain without peritoneal sign • external catheter leakage • stomal infection • asymptomatic catheter migration • leakage of ascitic fluid • late tube dislodgement
Gastrointestinal Intervention • These results compare favorably with those of endoscopic and surgical gastrostomy: Wollman et al performed meta-analysis of over 5000 patients who underwent radiologic, endoscopic, or surgical gastrostomy • Fluoroscopically guided techniques were associated with a higher success rate than endoscopic gastrostomy • Less morbidity than either endoscopic or surgical gastrostomy.
Gastrointestinal Catheter/Insertion site Care • The site should be kept clean and dry. Catheter should be kept secure and free of tension. • Gastropexy buttons removed after 2 weeks • Gastrostomy and gastrojejunostomy tubes exchanged every 3 months. • Inadvertently removed tubes need to be replaced as soon as is humanly possible, the tract will shut down within 12-24 hours and require a new puncture to replace the tube.
Gastrointestinal Catheter/Insertion site Care • Localized superficial wound inflammation and infections can be treated conservatively with topical agents but closely followed and antibiotics administered judiciously. • Pericatheter leakage may require tube manipulation (tighten the balloon/skin disc device) or changing/upsizing tube.
Gastrointestinal Intervention • Gastrostomy Tube
Gastrointestinal Catheter/Insertion site Care • Only approved feedings and medications (suspensions and elixirs) should be placed through the tubes. • NEVER crush time release meds and place though tube • Some medications can be COMPLETELY crushed and dissolved then placed through tube.
Percutaneous GI procedures • Case #1 • A 69 year old female is status post CVA. She has a long history of gastroparesis and GERD. During her swallowing evaluation, she shows free aspiration with all consistency of ingested food. What would be the best and safest long-term feeding tube for this patient? • Percutaneous Gastrostomy • Percutaneous Gastrojejunostomy • Surgical Jejunostomy • Nasojejunal tube • Nasogastric tube
Percutaneous Drainage procedures • Long term malignant effusion/ ascites management (Aspira/Pleurx) • Biliary • Transhepatic biliary • Percutaneous cholecystostomy • Thoracentesis • Paracentesis • Abscess / empyema drainage • Hematoma drainage • Urinary • Nephrostomy • Suprapubic cystostomy
Biliary Intervention • A 35 y/o Nuclear Engineer with a wife and 3 children presents with painless jaundice, fever, pruritis and a total bilirubin of 7. CT scan demonstrates an infiltrating mass at the head of the pancreas, ERCP failed to gain access to the Ampulla of Vater. Attempted brush biopsy was inconclusive. The patient shows no evidence of metastatic disease. • The best initial procedure for this patient would be: • Whipple procedure • Transhepatic biliary stenting with a metal stent • Transhepatic biliary drainage with antibiotic therapy followed by biopsy and surgical consultation • Hospice
Percutaneous Drainage procedures: Indications • Biliary obstruction with • Pruritus • Anorexia • Cholangitis • Sepsis • hyperbilirubinemia • Antineoplastics excreted by liver
Biliary Intervention Indications for biliary drainage/stenting • Decompress obstructed biliary tree • Jaundice • Anorexia • Pruritis • Cholangitis • Receive chemo excreted by liver • Access for local brachytherapy • Combine with dilation of biliary strictures/occlusions • Remove bile duct stones • Divert bile from or stent a bile duct defect
Biliary Intervention • Contraindication to biliary drainage • Coagulopathy is a relative contraindication • Risk vs benefit
Biliary Intervention • Complications (major) 2% • Sepsis • Cholangitis • Bile leak • Hemorrhage • Pneumothorax • Hemothorax
Biliary Intervention • Plastic versus metallic stents treatment of malignant biliary obstruction • metallic stents have a clear clinical advantage in terms of patency and rates of reintervention • 30-day reobstruction rate is almost double for plastic stents • Some studies suggested that physical properties of self-expanding metal stent are preferred for extrahepatic biliary duct
Biliary Intervention • Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene-fluorinated ethylene propylene (ePTFE-FEP)-covered biliary endoprosthesis shown to have primary patency rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 90%, 76%, and 76%, respectively • Branch duct obstruction was observed in 10% of their patients
