AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound–guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) involves creation of an anastomosis between two intra-abdominal mobile organs, namely, liver and the stomach, with no intervening stricture. Therefore, the risk of stent migration in EUS-HGS is very high and the stent migration can lead on to severe life-threatening complications like biliary peritonitis. During last few years, there have been increased efforts to design a safe and effective stent for EUS-HGS that obviates the risk of stent migration and can also be inserted quickly, preferably, in a single-step procedure. In this news and views, we discuss an experimental study from Japan that has evaluated a new partially covered self-expandable laser cut metal stent with a thin delivery system (7.2 F) and antimigration anchoring hooks for single-step EUS-HGS in phantom and animal models.
