BackgroundPercutaneousendoscopic gastrostomy is a commonly used endoscopic technique where a tube isplaced through the abdominal wall mainly to administer fluids, drugs and/orenteral nutrition. Several placement techniques are described in the literaturewith the ‘pull’ technique (Ponsky-Gardener) as the most popular one.Independent of the method used, placement includes a ‘blind’ perforation of thestomach through a small acute surgical abdominal wound. It is a generally safetechnique with only few major complications. Nevertheless these complicationscan be sometimes life-threatening or generate serious morbidity.MethodAnarrative review of the literature of major complications in percutaneousendoscopic gastrostomy.ResultsThis review was written from a clinical viewpoint focussing on prevention andmanagement of major complications and documentedscientific evidence with real cases from more than 20 years of clinical practice.ConclusionsMajorcomplications are rare but prevention, early recognition and popper management areimportant.

Abstract Purpose Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is an oral combination therapy containing fixed doses of direct-acting antiviral agents indicated for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Currently there are limited data on the clinical efficacy of crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir administered via feeding tube. Summary This case report discusses the successful treatment of chronic HCV genotype 1b infection with crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir administered through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection and high-grade sarcoma who had severe swallowing difficulties. The patient received crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir daily for a total of 12 weeks. At 12 weeks the patient had achieved a sustained virologic response. Conclusion Currently, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is available only as a tablet, with limited pharmacokinetic data available to guide clinicians on use of the fixed-dose combination medication in crushed form. This case report highlights our experience treating a patient with HCV/HIV coinfection through administration of crushed ledipasvir/sofosbuvir via PEG tube, which we found to be a safe and effective therapeutic option.
