Cystoscopic stent removal using a guidewire loop

Stent removal is a simple procedure performed with a rigid cystoscope and a stent removal forceps. In the rare event when the stent removal forceps does not work or breaks down, a guidewire loop can be used to remove the stent.

Foreign Body Removal by Snare Loop: During Intracranial Stent Procedure

We present a case of successful retrieval of an intracranial stent using a snare wire. A 52-year-old woman presented with left border zone infarction. On cerebral angiography, the C6 segment of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) showed significant stenosis. We attempted stenting of the lesion, although stent dislodgement occurred in the ICA C4 segment. We successfully removed it using a sna...

Endoscopic removal of a proximally migrated biliary stent using a novel gooseneck snare: the "EndoCowboy".

Proximal migration often occurs as an adverse event of biliary stent placement, with a reported migration rate of 3.1%– 4.9% [1]. Although various techniques have been reported for endoscopic removal of proximally migrated biliary stents, the procedure is still technically demanding and time-consuming, and occasionally unsuccessful [2–4]. We describe a useful technique for endoscopic removal of...

Facilitate Stent Removal: Magnetic DJ Stent

A 23-year-old male patient was performed semirigid ureterorenoscopy and laser lithotripsy with placement magnetic DJ stent because of right urethral stone. Removal of the magnetic DJ stent does not need a second procedure such as cystoscopy for the patients. This technique is easy to learn and should be considered as suitable for use on an outpatient basis.
