We analyzed 14 patients in our hospital, who underwent levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) treatment through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J). The PEG-J related complications were observed in 10 patients (71.4%). Detailed complications are as followings: J-tube related complications such as kinking (3 cases, 21.4%), pump malfunctions (3 cases, 21.4%), skin troubles in the gastrostoma (7 cases, 50.0%), duodenal perforation, peritonitis, and ulcers (2 cases, 14.3%). These results indicated that the sufficient care for PEG-J associated complications are important in LCIG treatment.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy / jejunostomy (PEG/J) is a relatively safe and effective minimally invasive surgical approach to establish long-term enteral nutrition (EN) channels. Due to the good compliance and the reduced incidence of reflux and aspiration pneumonia, PEG/J is the preferred way for long-term EN and has been widely used in clinical applications. However, few technical guidelines or expert consensus guiding the clinical practice of PEG/J have been published.

Background: Dysphagia is common in advanced phases of Parkinson disease (PD), and is a risk factor for aspiration pneumonia. Nonetheless, dysphagia has been poorly investigated in PD patients treated with levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG). We aimed to analyze the impact of dysphagia on mortality in LCIG treated patients and its relationship with other PD disability milestones.

Introduction: Carbidopa/levodopa enteral suspension (CLES) previously demonstrated reduction in total daily OFF from baseline by over 4 hours in advanced Parkinson's disease patients across 54 weeks. Evidence on CLES's long-term effectiveness on patterns of motor-symptom control throughout the day remains limited.
Methods: We present post-hoc analyses of a large, open-label study of CLES monotherapy (N = 289).
