Ureteral stenting in urosepsis: a cautionary note

J Franczyk et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1989 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Double-J internal ureteral stents have become a popular, comfortable method of urinary drainage in patients with ureteral obstruction. We describe a case of sepsis leading to rapid death following insertion of a stent. The indications for stent insertion and the potential complications are presented. Special reference is made to the danger of inadvertently creating a conduit for ascending urosepsis.
