细径转换
说到医疗器械时，profile一般是器械的外形轮廓，用在导管和插管类装置时是说它比较细小，这样会减少创伤。
这里的low-profile conversion是指将较为粗大的导管改为细小的导管。具体方法可能是通过转换装置或直接该用细小导管，须视上下文而定。

不明显或不显著的变换
可能是“不明显或不显著的变换”，即不明显的变换可能在当植入PEG时或在后期发生

我注意到 Low-Profile Conversion首字母都是大写（Low-Profile Conversion, which may occur when the PEG is placed or at a later date），这会不会是某种专指？low-profile在这里似乎是非突起、非凸起，不明显，或薄的意思。它会不会是指某种不突出的或不突起的转换？

| Thanks a lot, Bill! |
| Dear Bill, thank you so much for your question. I feel from the context, it means replacing with a smaller tube. I am so sorry I didn't provide more context. But I really appreciate your help! Best,Peggy |
