Introduction of the Gibbons ureteral stent facilitated by antecedent percutaneous nephrostomy. 1978

A D Smith, and P H Lange, and R P Miller, and D B Reinke

Patients in whom retrograde catheterization of the ureters has failed can have the Gibbons catheter placed by a new technique that requires no regional or general anesthesia. This technique entails antecedent percutaneous nephrostomy and passage of an angiographic catheter down the ureter. The catheterizing apparatus is attached to the angiographic catheter and then pulled into position.
