- Abstract
- To evaluate the technical feasibility of the alternative snare technique using a 0.018-inch guide wire and 5-French (Fr) catheter for double-J ureteral stent (DJUS) removal. In this retrospective study, 11 DJUS were removed in 9 consecutive patients between July 2023 and October 2023. We evaluated patient characteristics, DJUS characteristics, and procedure characteristics. Out of 11 cases, 8 (72.7%) were successful in removing the DJUS using the alternative snare technique without major complications. The average time between DJUS insertion and removal was 47.4 ± 50.0 days. The most common DJUS size was an 8-Fr, with proximal tips predominantly in the proximal ureter and renal pelvis. The mean procedure time for successful cases was 15.2 ± 16.8 minutes. Three failed cases, attributed to obstructions like debris, were later successfully addressed using the ALN inferior vena cava filter removal kit, forceps, and modified snare technique. The alternative snare technique using a 0.018-inch guidewire and Fr catheter is safe and effective in cases of DJUS removal. © 2024 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. All rights reserved.
