Abstract

A new mechanical puncture video echoendoscope (GF-UMD-240P, 270° image field parallel to the endoscope axis) has been used for puncture and drainage of a symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst. It is equipped with a 2.8 mm working channel and an elevator, allowing single step drainage with passage of a 7F nasocystic catheter.
