EUS-guided cholecystoduodenostomy using novel dumbbell-shaped fully covered metal stent (with video).

Highlight Atalla and colleagues present a novel dumbbell-shaped fully covered self-expandable metal stent which, with its anti-migration property and relatively lower cost, is a feasible and cost-effective option as an alternative to lumen-apposing metal stents for endoscopic ultrasound-guided transduodenal gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis in patients who are ineligible for surgery.
