Highlight A novel, fully covered, self‐expandable metal stent with a fine‐gauge stent delivery system has recently become available in Japan. Ogura and colleagues describe the technical procedure of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy using a one‐step stent deployment technique without fistula dilation, which is clinically useful and may help prevent adverse events.
