Determining appropriate indications for the self-expanding, metallic stents in the treatment of ureteral strictures of different etiology – efficiency and safety analysis of 65 stents implantations: a single-center, retrospective cohort study
Univariate analysis identified strictures longer than 2 cm, a dilatation diameter below 14 F and impaired stent patency during stenting as significant predictors of treatment failure, of which the possibility of an appropriately wide dilation and the patency of the SUS resulted from the length of the stricture.
