Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and ventriculoperitoneal shunts: a dangerous combination
Digestive Endoscopy, 09/16/09
Cairns A et al. – In patients who need long–term enteral feeding following a VP shunt insertion it may be prudent to delay insertion of a PEG for at least 10 days to reduce VPS infection. In stable patients who have had a VP shunt inserted on previous hospital admissions PEG insertion need not be avoided because of concern regarding cerebrospinal fluid or shunt infection.
