Many different cardiac devices are available that can be used as a bridge to transplant (temporary support) or as a destination therapy (permanent support). Placement of these devices can cause complications that, if not addressed, could negatively impact the nutrition status of patients. Placement of nasointestinal feeding tubes using an electromagnetic sensor\u2013guided enteral access system (EMS\u2010EAS) has been difficult in patients with implantable devices because of the potential for interference with the EMS\u2010EAS and the left ventricular assist device (LVAD). The purpose of this paper was to report the results using a modified method to place nasointestinal tubes in patients with LVADs by elevating the receiver off the xiphoid process. There were 42 feeding tube placements in 25 patients. Results showed a 69% success rate of placement into the small bowel, 13 unsuccessful placements, and no adverse or sentinel events associated with tube placement using this method. Results indicated the modified method is a safe approach to help expedite feeding tube placement in a nutritionally compromised patient. The success rate is comparable with non\u2010LVAD patient populations requiring nasointestinal tube placement via EMS\u2010EAS. To our knowledge, this is the first published case series addressing a modified method for nasointestinal tube placement in patients with LVAD. More research is needed to determine ideal separation distances or other techniques to improve the success rate in this patient population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ncp.10065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]],"date-time":"2018-03-15T06:14:22Z","timestamp":1521094462000},"page":"281-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Successful Placement of Nasointestinal Feeding Tubes Using an Electromagnetic Sensor\u2010Guided Enteral Access System in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Kay","family":"Lash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor Simmons Transplant Institute Baylor University Medical Center  Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachelle","family":"Oppel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor Simmons Transplant Institute Baylor University Medical Center  Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeanette","family":"Hasse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor Simmons Transplant Institute Baylor University Medical Center  Dallas Texas USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0b013e31828124ad"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.DCC.0000338867.24293.20"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"150","article-title":"Gastrointestinal consequences of left ventricular assist device placement","volume":"42","author":"El\u2010Amir NG","year":"1996","journal-title":"ASAIO J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2010.01.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0884533612457948"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2008.12.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0884533614535269"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","first-page":"757","article-title":"Impact of malnutrition on long term mortality in hospitalized patients with heart failure","volume":"64","author":"Bonilla\u2010Palomas JL","year":"2011","journal-title":"Rev Esp Cardiol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezs206"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","first-page":"8","article-title":"An overview of nutrition for cardiac transplant recipients","volume":"34","author":"Glassman K","year":"2012","journal-title":"Support Line"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/cc12800"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0115426507022004436"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/08941939.2013.826310"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jhm.2122"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00455-015-9607-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.691972"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2004.11.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(96)07015-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014860710202600613"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014860710202600608"}],"container-title":["Nutrition in Clinical Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fncp.10065","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ncp.10065","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T11:45:25Z","timestamp":1760960725000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ncp.10065"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ncp.10065"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ncp.10065","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0884-5336","1941-2452"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0884-5336","type":"print"},{"value":"1941-2452","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,12]]}}}
