Siavash Falahatkar et al. J Endourol. 2012 Feb.

Abstract

A Double-J stent may be used for ureteral injury because of a gynecologic procedure. Intravascular migration of a Double-J stent into the inferior vena cava as an uncommon complication of ureteral stent placement is reported. Percutaneous removal of the migrated stent was performed through the left femoral vein under angiographic and fluoroscopic guidance.
