Novel fine gauge electrocautery dilator for endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (with video)

: Highlight Ogura and colleagues present a novel electrocautery dilation device for endoscopic ultrasound-guided procedures. The distal end of the outer dilator contains a 3-Fr metal tip, allowing a smaller burning effect than with conventional devices. This novel device may have clinical impact for endoscopic ultrasound-guided procedures as tract dilation device.
