Endoscopic clips prevent displacement of intestinal feeding tubes: a long-term follow-up study.

Background: Displacement of jejunal feeding tubes is a major problem in enteral feeding. Although endoscopic clips have been used to prevent migration of the tube during placement, the long-term effect of the clips on tube displacement is unknown.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term effect of endoscopic clips on preventing displacement of the jejunal feeding tube.
