Renovascular acute renal failure precipitated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for pancreatic stones
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 waves played a critical role in renal artery obstruction in the present case.

Extracorporeal 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 کاملEndoscopic Treatment of Patients with Chronic Pancreatitis
Relapsing chronic pancreatitis is often caused by elevated pressure within the pancreatic duct due to impaired pancreatic juice outflow in the presence of pancreatic duct stricture or stones formed by chronic pancreatic inflammation. Most of this condition is alcoholic, and patients should stop drinking as a treatment. Alleviating the impaired pancreatic juice outflow and decompressing the panc...
