One-step deployment for EUS-guided gallbladder drainage using a novel fully covered metal stent (with video).

Highlight A novel fully covered self-expandable metal stent has recently become available in Japan. Its stent delivery system measures only 7 Fr and its tip is tapered, allowing transluminal stenting under endoscopic ultrasound guidance without fistula dilation. Ogura and colleagues provide technical tips for endoscopic-ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage using this novel stent.
