A guidewire tip transection during kidney imaging led to a ureteral stone. A minor modification to guidewires could prevent such surgical incidents.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Instrumentation

Background:

  • A 62-year-old female patient presented with a distal ureteral stone.
  • The diagnosis was made two years after antegrade imaging of the kidney.

Observation:

  • During ureteroscopy, a transected guidewire tip was discovered.
  • The guidewire likely fractured during the prior antegrade imaging procedure.

Findings:

  • The events leading to the guidewire transection were successfully reproduced in a laboratory setting.
  • Analysis confirmed the mechanism of guidewire failure during the antegrade study.

Implications:

  • A minor modification to current guidewire design is proposed.
