Efficacy of Resonance® stent after failure of polymeric stent in the treatment of ureteral obstruction

Key Points

• Efficacy of resonance stents improved management of ureteral obstruction after polymeric stent failure, leading to potentially better patient outcomes.
• The analysis revealed a significant treatment improvement with resonance stents as compared to previous polymeric stents, addressing a critical limitation in ureteral care.
• Assessment using clinical data identified various factors contributing to the success of resonance stents after prior polymeric stent failures.
• Highlights the need for alternative interventions in ureteral obstruction cases, especially when initial treatments have not succeeded.
