Recently, non-classical risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), have gained attention. Both CVD and LUTS are prevalent among aging populations and share common vascular risk factors.

Purpose: There are some controversial data about the peri operative use of antibiotics after double-J (DJ) insertion. This study aimed to compare the rates of urinary tract infections (UTI) and stent-related symptoms (SRSs) in patients who received only perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and those given continuous low-dose antibiotic therapy for the entire stent-indwelling time following transurethral lithotripsy (TUL).

Methods: In this randomized clinical trial 178 patients received intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis (ciprofloxacin 400 mg) before the TUL and then randomly divided into two groups to either receive no antibiotic treatment after procedure (group A, 90 patients) or to additionally receive a continuous low-dose antibiotic treatment with one ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 h for 3 days and then ciprofloxacin 250 mg once daily for the entire stent-indwelling time (group B, 88 patients).
