Weighted Tip Extensions Result in Fewer Gastrojejunostomy Tube Migrations and Increase Tube Lifespan

This study suggests that for patients who require a GJ tube replacement because of the tip refluxing proximally into the stomach or esophagus, the addition of a 10-15-cm weighted extension to the distal end of the GJ tube is safe and significantly improves the lifespan of the enteric tube.
