Objective: To present our clinical experience with percutaneous antegrade ureteral stenting.
Materials And Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study in which we reviewed the electronic medical records of patients who underwent percutaneous image-guided antegrade ureteral stenting between January 2016 and August 2020. We evaluated 90 patients (48 men). The mean age was 61.4 ± 15 years (range, 30-94 years). Patients were divided into two main groups: those with malignant neoplasms; and those with non-neoplastic disease. Technical and clinical success of the procedure were defined, respectively, as maintenance of the patency of the urinary tract, with a reduction in the degree of hydronephrosis, and as a reduction in the level of nitrogenous waste. Postprocedural complications were categorized as major or minor according to the CIRSE classification.
Results: The study sample comprised 150 antegrade stenting procedures performed in 90 patients, most of whom had previously undergone retrograde stenting that was unsuccessful. The stenting was bilateral in 60 patients and unilateral in 30. Technical success was achieved in 143 (95.3%) of the procedures, whereas seven procedures (4.6%) were unsuccessful. Failed procedures were characterized by inability to place a stent or migration of a stent after its placement. Complications occurred in 12 (8.0%) of the procedures. Of those 12 complications, two were classified as major (bleeding) and 10 were classified as minor (lumbar pain or infection). The most common techniques used were the over-the-wire technique and the modified technique (in 58.0% and 42.0% of the cases, respectively). In seven cases (4.7%), a nephrostomy tube was inserted.
Conclusion: Percutaneous antegrade ureteral stenting is a safe, effective method for the management of ureteral injuries and obstructions, due to malignant or benign causes, when the retrograde approach has failed.

Department of Urology, National University Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Purpose: Polymeric and metallic stents are commonly used to manage patients with chronic malignant ureteric obstruction (CMUO). This paper compares the outcomes of ureteral stenting via the Resonance metallic stent against its polymeric counterpart in published literature, as well as between antegrade and retrograde approaches.
Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted whereby patients who had undergone Resonance stent insertions via an antegrade route from June 2022 to May 2023 were reviewed through our electronic medical record system.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the through-and-through wire (TTW) technique for antegrade ureteral Double-J stent placement after failure of either antegrade or retrograde ureteral stent placement.
Method: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent Double-J stent placement with the TTW technique at Asan Medical Center and Gil Medical Center between January 2016 and February 2023. Patient histories, reasons for employing the TTW technique, TTW pathways, and complications were reviewed.
