An easy method for passing an intestinal intubation tube under fluoroscopic guidance. 1978

D W Gelfand

A new technique (using readily available materials) for passing any single lumen tube into the duodenum is presented. This procedure usually greatly reduces the time and effort required to pass an intestinal tube through the pylorus. Once passed, the tube functions normally, without the limitations posed by duodenal tubes.
