Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the Percutaneous Ultrasound Jejunostomy (PUJ) procedure that utilizes a novel device (PUMA-J System) in conjunction with widely available ultrasound technology and endoscopic guidance. The procedure will be performed in up to 10 eligible subjects. Patients will be followed for 2 days following performance of PUJ to assess for potential complications.
