Purpose: To compare the outcome of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) using split or intact Amplatz sheath.
Materials And Methods: Seventy two patients who underwent PCNL were randomly divided into two groups; PCNL using intact (group 1) and split (group 2) Amplatz sheath. Preoperative data, operative time, largest extracted stone size, fluoroscopy and lithotripsy time, and serum biochemistry tests before and after PCNL were evaluated.

Objectives: To introduce a simple modification to the original technique of pyelovesical bypass graft placement to make the procedure more minimally invasive.
Methods: During the study period 2 patients with malignant ureteric obstruction underwent pyelovesical bypass graft placement using Detour stent (Mentor-Porges). The technique simply comprised tract dilatation of the previously placed percutaneous nephrostomy to place the proximal end of the graft in the renal collecting system, making a subcutaneous tunnel from a 1-cm suprapubic incision to the flank area, percutaneous access to the bladder under fluoroscopic guide and placement of the distal end of the stent into the bladder through a split Amplatz sheath.

Objective: To compare the efficacy, safety and morbidity of surgical versus percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure.
Population And Methods: We studied all cases of ASD closure (surgical or percutaneous) performed in our hospital during the last 5 years. We analyzed the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of both groups and compared the success rate of the procedure, events, days of hospital stay and evolution during the 1st year.

Split 24-F Amplatz dilator for percutaneous extraction of an intravascular bullet: case report and technical note.

Department of Radiology, East Carolina University School of Medicine, Greenville, NC.
An intravascular bullet was retrieved percutaneously in a 17-year-old boy with the use of a modified 24-F Amplatz dilator. The dilator was modified by means of a longitudinal incision with removal of a wedge at the distal tip of the tapered portion of the dilator. The bullet, which was located in the left pulmonary artery, was removed via the right femoral vein.
