| Core Tip |
Unusual complications following endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) underscore the need for careful attention to technique and device choice. Although plastic stents are still used, fully covered self-expandable metal stents may better prevent bile leakage. Additionally, the choice of puncture site, such as segment 2 vs segment 3 , and the method of fistula dilation critically influence outcomes. This editorial highlights the importance of refining EUS-HGS techniques and developing dedicated devices to enhance safety and reduce unexpected complications. |
