Radiologic assessment of the distal stomach and duodenum after gastric bypass: percutaneous CT-guided transcatheter technique.
Following some types of gastric bypass surgery for morbid obesity the conventional barium examination fails to opacify the bypassed segments of distal stomach and duodenum. The authors describe a technique for visualization of these segments by injection of contrast material through a percutaneously inserted catheter.
