[Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy].
Concrement lithotripsy in the kidney and ureter using extracorporeal shock waves (ESWL) was performed with the aid of a 2nd-generation lithotriptor--Lithostar Siemens. Over a period of 11 months ESWL was applied in 526 patients aged 7 to 80 years, 10 of these were children. 19 patients had bilateral lithiasis so that the treatment was applied to a total of 545 renoureteral units and 698 concrem...
متن کاملRenovascular acute renal failure precipitated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic stones
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for pancreatic stones is considered a safe and efficient method to facilitate fragmentation and stone removal. We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with a solitary functioning kidney who presented an acute-onset anuria and renovascular renal failure the day after ESWL. We speculate that vascular calcifications in the area targeted by shock wav...
متن کاملA case of hyperreninemic hypertension after extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.
A 53-year-old male was found to have hypertension caused by the significant secretion of renin from an atrophic left kidney. He had undergone extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for left renal lithiasis 11 years previously. A renal dynamic study with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) indicated that the rate of renal excretion and uptake was decreased in the left kidney an...
متن کاملExtracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of pancreatic stones.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy of pancreatic stones was performed in eight patients with chronic pancreatitis and a dilated duct system harbouring stones 5 to 20 mm (means 10 (SD) 5 mm) in diameter. After endoscopic sphincterotomy of the pancreatic orifice the stones were disintegrated by shock waves under fluoroscopic control using a kidney lithotripter (Dornier HM3). The procedure was ...
متن کاملOsteonecrosis of the humeral head after extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy.
A 59-year-old woman with calcific tendinitis in her right shoulder underwent extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy. Three years and four months later she presented with osteonecrosis of the head of the right humerus. It is known that shock waves in patients with urological disorders can damage blood vessels. A possible reason for the development of osteonecrosis in this patient may have been da...
