EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel method for palliating gastric outlet obstructon due to unresectable malignancies…

EUS-GBD with lumen apposing stent (LAMS) has been included in ESGE and ASGE guidelines for acute calculous cholecystitis for patients who are unfit for surgery. Whether to perform cholecystoscopy for stone removal and LAMS removal, or the LAMS should be kept for long term is still a controversy…
