(1998) In Acta Paediatrica, International Journal of Paediatrics 87(11). p.1203-1204- Abstract
A gastrostomy button complication, not previously reported, is described. The button, with an inflatable balloon, was used for nutrition. The patient had had a gastrostomy for 4.5 y, with the same type of gastrostomy button for the previous 2 y and the same device for 1 y. The tip of the button caused a perforation of the posterior stomach wall, leading to death.
