Over the past 30 years, image-guided placement of gastrostomies and cecostomies for gastrointestinal decompression has developed into a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic bowel obstruction. Gastrostomies and cecostomies relieve patient symptoms, can prevent serious complications such as colonic perforation, and may bridge patients to more definitive treatment for the underlying cause of obstruction. This article will review the history of decompressive gastrostomies and cecostomies as well as the indications, contraindications, technique, complications, and outcomes of these procedures.

Paediatric interventional radiology is an evolving speciality which is able to offer numerous minimally invasive treatments for gastrointestinal tract pathologies. Here we describe interventions performed by paediatric interventional radiologists on the alimentary tract from the mouth to the rectum. The interventions include sclerotherapy, stricture management by dilation, stenting and adjunctive therapies such as Mitomycin C administration and enteral access for feeding, motility assessment and administration of enemas.

Although chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare disorder, it presents a wide spectrum of severity that ranges from abdominal bloating to severe gastrointestinal dysfunction. In the worst cases, patients may become dependent upon artificial nutrition via parenteral nutrition or choose to have an intestinal transplant. However, whatever the severity, a patient's quality of life can be seriously compromised.

Background: Reduced-dose C-arm computed tomography (CT) uses flat-panel detectors to acquire real-time 3-D images in the interventional radiology suite to assist with anatomical localization and procedure planning.
Objective: To describe dose-reduction techniques for C-arm CT at a pediatric institution and to provide guidance for implementation.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a 5-year retrospective study on procedures using an institution-specific reduced-dose protocol: 5 or 8 s Dyna Rotation, 248/396 projection images/acquisition and 0.
Estimates of effective dose to pediatric patients undergoing enteric and venous access procedures.

Purpose: To determine the range of effective doses encountered during common enteric and venous access procedures by using a method to estimate effective dose based on fluoroscopy time.
Materials And Methods: A pediatric phantom and metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor model was used to calculate effective doses associated with nine enteric and venous access procedures involving fluoroscopy only. Enteric procedures included primary gastrostomy, gastrojejunostomy, cecostomy tube insertions, and their "maintenance procedures" (eg, tube checks and changes, reinsertions, and exchanges).
