    Hae Won Yoo et al. Peroral cholecystoscopy using a multibending ultraslim endoscope through a lumen-apposing metal stent for endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage: a feasibility study

    The feasibility of peroral cholecystoscopy using a multibending ultraslim endoscope through a lumen-apposing metal stent previously placed during EUS-guided gallbladder drainage was assessed. Among the 14 patients included, 15 of 17 cholecystoscopies (88.2 %) were technically successful. The approach can also allow interventions such as gallstone extraction.
