 Abstract

- While the sustainment of percutaneous nephrostomy with regular change in chronic un-operable cases is widely performed for relief of urinary obstructions, performance of the blind procedure without fluoroscopic monitoring could result in clinical disaster. We report on a case of direct renal vein injury by mis-guidance of a nephrostomy catheter, which was successfully managed conservatively by serial venography monitoring combined with intensive conservative treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on management of a renal vein injury during the percutaneous nephrostomy.

Abstract
PDF
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease characterized by the presence of a retroperitoneal tissue, consisting of chronic inflammation and marked fibrosis, which often causes ureteral obstruction. Surgical approach is necessary to preserve the renal function, and this is achieved by ureteral stent. The Memokath stent is a new thermo-expandable shape-memory metallic stent. Herein, we report our recent experience of a patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis, which involves bilateral ureter, who underwent successful bilateral Memokath stent insertion.
