Advanced cancer of the prostate causes mechanical obstruction of the ureteral orifice in 10% of patients. In our patient with advanced prostate carcinoma, after the usual method of placement of a ureteral stent had failed, antegrade percutaneous ureteroneocystostomy with placement of a double-J performed by means of the Lawson retrograde nephrostomy set. After removal of the stent 8 months later, the anastomosis functioned without a decrease in caliber until the patient died 2 years later. Our technique represents another new option for the treatment of such patients.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of exchange and upsizing of malfunctioning small-caliber double-J (JJ) ureteral stents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-one patients with malfunctioning cystoscopically placed small-caliber (6 or 7 F) JJ stents underwent transurethral (n = 28) or transrenal (n = 3) exchange and upsizing to a large-caliber (10 F) JJ stent from 2013 to 2022. Ureteral obstruction was malignant in 20 patients (65%) and benign in 11 (35%).

Ureteral stents are commonly externalised retrogradely by cystoscopy and exchanged under imaging guidance. When a ureteral stent has migrated proximally into the ureter, it may be snared by ureteroscopy or antegrade percutaneous access; however, ureteroscopy can be challenging in young infants where there is difficulty visualizing the ureteral orifice or a small-calibre ureter. The presented case describes a radiologic technique for retrieval of a proximally migrated ureteral stent in a young infant using a 0.

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Medical Center Wuerzburg, Germany.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of ureteral embolization exclusively using Amplatzer Vascular Plugs (AVPs) in the management of ureteral leakages.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 7 patients with ureteral leakages and fistulas having undergone transrenal ureteral embolization with AVPs was performed. In all cases, AVPs were deployed via a preexisting percutaneous transrenal nephrostomy tube.

Department of Radiology and Research Institute of Radiology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Asanbyeongwon-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 138-736, Korea.
Purpose: Patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis may suffer upper extremity central venous access failure and require an alternative route. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transrenal hemodialysis catheter insertion/replacement in patients with upper extremity central venous access failure.
Materials And Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was made of transrenal hemodialysis catheter insertion/replacement performed between 2014 and 2020.
Transrenal Ureteral Occlusion for Palliation of Refractory Urine Leaks Using Vascular Plugs and Liquid Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol.
J Vasc Interv Radiol
December 2019
Division of Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School-Baystate, Baystate Medical Center, 759 Chestnut Street, Springfield, MA 01199.
Purpose: To describe outcomes of transrenal embolization with vascular plugs and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) in a case series of patients with refractory urinary leak or fistula.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen ureteral occlusions performed over 53 months in 9 consecutive patients (56% female; mean age 61 y; range, 45-80 y) were reviewed retrospectively. The main indication was palliation for refractory fistula or leak in the setting of malignancy not responding to urine diversion by percutaneous nephrostomy tube or nephroureteral stent.
