    Radiology
    |September 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel percutaneous nephrostomy technique utilizes a large balloon catheter for renal collecting system access. This method shows promise for tumor palliation and stabilizing critically ill patients before surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy is a crucial procedure for renal drainage.
    • Existing techniques may have limitations for specific clinical scenarios.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new percutaneous nephrostomy technique using a large balloon catheter.
    • To evaluate its utility in tumor palliation and pre-operative stabilization.

    Main Methods:

    • A No. 12 French balloon catheter is introduced into the renal collecting system.
    • Techniques involve translumbar aortogram catheter placement and Dotter vascular dilators for large catheter insertion.

    Main Results:

    • The described method allows for the placement of a large-bore balloon catheter.
