A Prospective, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation(SURE)Using the CVAC™ Aspiration System Compared to Basketing for the Removal of Renal Calculi Following Laser Lithotripsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SURE and Standard Ureteroscopy (Basketing) for Kidney Stone and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 132 participants across 11 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of a treatment for removing kidney stones called the SURE procedure for stone evacuation to the standard treatment using a basket for stone removal.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The SURE stone evacuation procedure is a technique intended to more easily and completely remove a kidney stone during a kidney stone treatment. The urologist first uses a laser to break the kidney stone into small pieces. Then with the SURE procedure, the pieces are gently vacuumed out of the kidney instead of retrieving the pieces one-by-one with a basket or leaving them to pass naturally in the urine. Basketing is allowed and might be used with the SURE procedure, if needed to remove some small stones.
This is a treatment in which the urologist uses a laser to break a kidney stone into small pieces and then uses a tool called a basket to retrieve the pieces one at a time.
