ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has demonstrated high technical and clinical success rates in endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD) for acute cholecystitis. The effectiveness of a 5‐Fr endoscopic naso‐gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) tube for flushing and the internal fistula technique after tube ...

ABSTRACT Background Covered self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are the standard for managing unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO), as they prolong the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO). However, fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS) increases the risk of cholecystitis and pancreatitis.

Abstract Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is a useful alternative treatment for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) failure. However, serious complications sometimes occur. Bleeding is an early complication that occurs during puncture; however, there have been some reports of late‐onset rupture of a ...

Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage using a double‐pigtail plastic stent (DPPS) harbors the risk of bile leakage and pneumoperitoneum through the anastomosis site. When the inner sheath of the DPPS system is retracted halfway back into the stent, multiple side holes emerge on the stent end, which accelerates the active gallbladder lavage.
