Abstract
Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) continuous infusion into the jejunum through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with a jejunal extension (PEG-J) is an alternative therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, with a very poor control of their symptoms on regular oral medications (Hoehn-Yahr stage IV). Around 62.2 % of patients present procedure and device-related adverse effects (AE), with an 8.2 % rate of mayor complications.
