Highlight This experimental study using a plastic globe and fine-needle aspiration needle demonstrated that distention of the jejunum is the most important point to avoid mispuncture and misdeployment of devices in endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastrojejunostomy. Itoi and colleagues recommend the double-balloon occlusion method to endosonographers for safe and reliable endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastrojejunostomy.
