    Real-time visualization-assisted tube placement (VATP) uses a micro-camera for intraluminal visualization during nasoenteral tube insertion.

  • 2

    In a multicenter study, 308 procedures showed a 94.8% success rate for postpyloric tube placement verified by radiography.

  • 3

    Median procedure duration decreased from 27 minutes in the early phase to 20 minutes in the late phase, indicating improved efficiency.

  • 4

    Safety evaluations revealed good tolerability with no severe adverse events; minor events included vital sign alerts and epistaxis.

  • 5

    VATP provides a practical bedside approach for tube placement when endoscopic resources are limited, with high procedural success rates.
