  • Title: Percutaneous ureteral stent placement for stricture management and internal urinary drainage.
    Author: Bigongiari LR, Lee KR, Moffat RE, Mebust WK, Foret J, Weigel J.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1979 Nov; 133(5):865-8. PubMed ID: 115275.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous ureteral stent placement was attempted in nine patients with 14 ureteral lesions. Eight strictures in six patients were successfully stented. Three were subsequently converted to indwelling ureteral stents. The technique is described. No significant complications occurred. The procedure should be attempted as part of percutaneous nephrostomy for benign ureteral strictures, ureteral fistulae, or when ever long term nonoperative diversion can be useful.
