Highlight Elshair and colleagues describe a novel technique which could be applied for drainage of any paragastric fluid collection, including pseudocyst and abscess. In comparison to the oblique‐view echoendoscope, the forward‐viewing echoendoscope allows concurrent stent‐in‐stent placement over the same axis. Double‐pit stent deployment inside the metal stent prevents bleeding and metallic‐stent kinking.
