The RELIEF™ Ureteral Stent - Assessment of Retrograde Urinary Reflux and Distal Coil Bladder Position
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating RELIEF Stent for Ureteral Obstruction. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Traditional ureteral stents are commonly used in renal and ureteral procedures, and their use is associated with many morbidities which can affect patients' quality of life. However, replacement of the distal portion of the stent with a thin material may reduce bladder irritative symptoms and allow the ureterovesical junction to coapt---thereby, reducing urinary reflux. The hypothesis is that the RELIEF stent will offer the same function of traditional ureteral stents with the added benefits of minimizing urinary reflux and reducing irritative bladder symptoms.

Timeline
Interventions
The RELIEF stent will be placed under cystoscopy. The stent with pusher will be placed over the guidewire and inserted. The pusher will be positioned, the guidewire will be removed, and the pusher will be retracted. The position of the stent will be confirmed by x-ray (C-arm).
