Transluminal balloon dilation of ureteral strictures

D P Finnerty et al. J Urol. 1984 Jun.

Abstract

Ureteral strictures are uncommon problems in urological practice. The nonvascular application of the Grüntzig balloon catheter is proposed as an alternative to surgery in some of these patients. We treated 6 ureteral strictures in 5 patients by balloon dilation with an 83 per cent success rate.
