Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage procedures are becoming increasingly widespread in clinical practice, even though they are technically challenging and require a substantial learning curve. In vivo swine biliary dilatation models for training have been described; however, they provide erratic biliary dilatation and can also be technically cumbersome [1 �V 5]. We describe EUS-guided gallbladder drainage with a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) in a novel swine biliary dilatation model.
