Ureteral Interventions

Allen Herr et al. Tech Vasc Interv Radiol. 2016 Sep.

Abstract

Interventional radiologists are commonly called upon to manage patients with benign and malignant ureteral pathologic conditions. Unfortunately, treatments for both cure and palliation can be fraught with problems causing patients to be undesirably maintained with lifelong catheters. This review describes outcomes for antegrade and retrograde therapeutic options and techniques for patients with most types of ureteral pathologic conditions that the interventional radiologist would encounter in practice.

Keywords: Angioplasty; Stents; Treatment outcomes; Ureteral strictures.
