No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Kidney stones cause severe pain. Patients with a stone lodged in the ureter (the tube that drains the bladder), require urgent treatment with a stent to relieve the blockage. This tube, or ureteral stent, gives the patient relief until they can have their stone treated. This study is to evaluate a new type of ureteral stent to relieve pain from kidney stones. This stent is designed to drain the kidney and unlike other ureteral stents, is also designed to widen the ureter to help the stone pass on its own.
