Endoscopic gastrostomy replacement tubes: Long-term randomized trial with five silicone commercial models

PEG replacement was safe however relatively frequent and affecting longevity, therefore longer-lasting tubes are needed. Specific attention should be given to cap, feeding line, external clamp, tube fastener; tube length, and notably balloon performance, which may be disappointing. Trial NCT01698827, CNPq Investigator Grant 302915/2011-7.
