The jejunostomy tube is an important means of access for enteral feeding in the surgical and medical patient. A common complication of this technique is tube occlusion. Once a mature tract has formed the tube can be removed and replaced, following by contrast radiologic documentation of its intraluminal position. With an immature tract, this option is not available. We report a safe, simple, and cost-effective method of unblocking a clogged jejunostomy using an arterial embolectomy catheter. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 12:417-418, 1988)
