  • Title: Proximal stent displacement as complication of pigtail ureteral stent.
    Author: Collier MD, Jerkins GR, Noe HN, Soloway MS.
    Journal: Urology; 1979 Apr; 13(4):372-5. PubMed ID: 433042.
    Abstract:
    The indwelling ureteral stent recently introduced by Cook offers relative ease of placement with a self-curling end which prevents migration down the ureter. We have seen 4 cases of proximal migration of these stents. The reasons for this event are described. Our experience suggests the placement of a suture in the distal portion of the catheter to allow retrieval of the catheter should migration occur.
