Interventional Techniques to Support Enteral Nutrition

Abstract

In patients requiring nutritional support, enteral nutrition has been shown to have many benefits, including improved long-term outcomes, when compared to parenteral alternatives. Given our baseline comfort with medical imaging and knowledge of anatomy, Interventional Radiologists can support a patient's caloric needs and circumvent more invasive surgical methods for placing feeding tubes.
