Dr. Smith is treаting а 72-yeаr-оld female with ureteral оbstructiоn caused by a postoperative stricture and post radiation scarring following treatment for transitional cell cancer. The patient requires removal and replacement of an internal indwelling ureteral stent. Dr. Smith advances a diagnostic catheter under conscious sedation into the bladder and injects contrast to opacity the bladder. A guide wire is advanced into the bladder and the diagnostic catheter is exchanged for a larger catheter to allow the use of a snare device. Under the fluoroscopic guidance the snare device is negotiated into the bladder through the sheath and used to grasp the pigtail portion of the double-J ureteral stent tube within the bladder and the indwelling stent tube is pulled out of the bladder and urethra far enough to allow retrograde introduction of a guide wire through the stent, directed into the renal pelvis. Using fluoroscopic guidance to negotiate the wire through the inner lumen of the ureteral stent tube rather than through side holes, a diagnostic catheter is positioned over the wire into the renal pelvis, allowing opacification and visualization of the renal pelvis. The guide wire is repositioned into the renal pelvis and the diagnostic catheter removed. A new double-J ureteral stent tube is introduced and positioned. The guide, sheath and safety wire are removed after appropriate position is confirmed with fluoroscopy and a permanent image is obtained for the medical record.
