Illustrations demonstrating the stenting technique using the tapered sheath dilator (EndoSheather) in endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS). (a) Proper insertion of a guidewire. (b) Utilization of the tapered sheath dilator to mechanically dilate the needle tract. (c) Removal of the inner catheter, leaving the outer sheath in position within the bile duct. (d–f) Smooth insertion and deployment of a fully covered self‐expandable metal stent (up to 6 Fr in diameter) through the outer sheath.
