A guideline by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy recommends percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) as the preferred method for initial enteral access over interventional radiology-guided gastrostomy. The article details recommendations regarding medication management, stating tube feeding can safely commence within four hours post-procedure. It emphasizes that antiplatelet medications can generally be continued, while anticoagulation management decisions should involve a multidisciplinary approach, particularly for patients with malignant dysphagia.
