Sa1412 SAFETY AND FEASIBILITY OF A BRAND-NEW ELECTROCAUTERY DILATOR BY HBRID-MECHANICAL AND CAUTERIZED USE FOR EUS-GUIDED HEPATICOGASTROSTOMY

EUS guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is an alternative biliary drainage technique after failed ERCP. Several mechanical or cautery dilators have been used before stenting in performing EUS-HGS. Cauterized technique has been reported to incur serious complications of gastric ulcers, bleeding or pseudoaneurysm. A brand-new electrocautery dilator (Fine025, Medicos Hirata incorporation, Osaka, Japan) is a 7Fr tapered stiff dilator mounted with 3Fr metal cautery tip and propels catheter straight flistulization with rigid delivery.
