ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) using lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) is a treatment option for acute cholecystitis in high‐risk surgical patients. However, data on extremely elderly and frail patients are limited. We report our initial experience with EUS‐GBD using electrocautery‐enhanced LAMS in this

ABSTRACT Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare, aggressive uterine malignancy that usually metastasizes hematogenously, whereas gastrointestinal involvement is uncommon. A 69‐year‐old woman with uLMS treated by hysterectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy developed metachronous lung, sigmoid colon, gallbladder, and abdominal wall metastases.

ABSTRACT Endoscopic biliary plastic stent (PS) insertion is standard for maintaining bile flow, but migration and dislodgement persist as important challenges. We developed the cross range flap stent (CRF stent), a 7 Fr, 7 cm straight‐type PS. Unlike conventional stents with flaps at both ends, the CRF stent features flaps and flap holes at the ...

ABSTRACT Traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct stump is a rare benign lesion that may mimic biliary malignancy, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. We report a case of an enhancing lesion at the cystic duct stump after cholecystectomy that was diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided tissue acquisition (EUS‐TA).
