Abstract:
The Acucise ureteral catheter is a ureteral cutting balloon device that recently received approval for retrograde endopyelotomy. We report a case of a postoperative lower pole renal arterioureteral hemorrhage after retrograde endopyelotomy requiring interventional radiographic treatment. Significant gross hematuria after Acucise endopyelotomy may indicate a communication between the vasculature and collecting system. Prompt arteriography with embolization should be considered in this clinical situation.
