Retrieval of indwelling ureteral stent utilizing Fogarty catheter. 1975

D C Niendorf, and B Kamhi

The efficacy of silicone rubber ureteral stents for long-term urinary diversion has been demonstrated to be of value in certain cases. However, complications, including migration of the stent, do occur. A method for retrieval of the ureteral stent utilizing a Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter is described.
