  • Title: Treatment of obstructive nephroureteral clot with a rheolytic mechanical thrombectomy device.
    Author: Htaik TT, Santaniello NA, Markmann JF, Shaked A, Clark TW.
    Journal: J Vasc Interv Radiol; 2003 Jul; 14(7):933-6. PubMed ID: 12847203.
    Abstract:
    Thrombus within the renal collecting system and ureter after percutaneous intervention is usually self-limited, but when it is obstructive enough to produce anuria, it can cause deterioration of renal function. Herein a case of a patient with a transplant kidney in whom clot anuria developed after conversion of a nephroureteral stent to a nephrostomy catheter is presented. Internal urine drainage was restored with the use of a rheolytic mechanical thrombectomy device, with subsequent return of normal renal function.
