Management of nephrostomy drains and ureteral stents

Robert Adamo et al. Tech Vasc Interv Radiol. 2009 Sep.

Abstract

Nephroureteral and double J stents are routinely placed by interventional radiologists but quality literature on placement and management of these devices is limited. The purpose of this review is to detail indications for ureteral stent placement, review the types of antegrade and retrograde devices that are placed including technical tips, and discuss management of common complications that occur in this patient population. An algorithm for placement and management is included.
