2 Learning objectives The aim of this exhibit is to review radiological findings in various clinical settings in patients with double J ureteral stents - correct position, malpositions, complications, monitoring and possible findings during passage of renal calculi. Background Double J ureteral stents are commonly used for keeping a ureter patent. Main indications include treatment of urinary calculosis, prevention of complications following endourologic and open surgical procedures, treatment of extrinsic or intrinsic obstruction, urinary leaks etc. Since the stent is a foreign body, it may cause patient discomfort, bacterial colonisation and deposition of urine constituents. Depending on the clinical setting, the stent may be placed temporarily or permanently. In the latter case, regular replacements are necessary to prevent complications associated with long indwelling times. Stents are 1) usually replaced after 3 to 6 months. Radiological examinations are used to assess the position of the stent after placement, for monitoring the stent and stone passage, and for diagnosing suspected complications. Complications may result from incorrect placement or may develop in patients with a correctly placed stent, and include: migration, trauma, infection, encrustation, stent fracture etc. Findings and procedure details A correctly placed double J stent should have both ends curled in pigtail form, the proximal one in renal pelvis (loop oriented laterally) and the distal one in urinary bladder (loop preferably on the ipsilateral side to minimise irritative bladder symptoms).

3 Fig. 1: Correctly positioned double J stent. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS The stent should be of adequate length - too short a stent may easily migrate, and too long a stent may cause irritative symptoms. Sometimes one double J stent cannot allow Page 3 of 46
4 sufficient flow, so two stents may be placed in the same ureter (usually in cases of severe 2) extrinsic obstruction). Page 4 of 46
5 Fig. 2: Two double J stents placed in the left ureter. The patient had a pyelocutaneous fistula after partial left nephrectomy and adrenalectomy due to malignancy. The right kidney had been removed several years before. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS KUB radiography is the first-line modality in evaluation of stent positioning and/or complications. Fluoroscopy may be used during insertion. Ultrasound may be used for a more detailed examination of the intrarenal and intravesical ends as well as for evaluation of complications. Also, double J stents may facilitate visualisation of ureters on ultrasound since they can be easily identified as echogenic double lines. CT may be used in case of complications. Stents may be incorrectly placed initially or migrate later. Page 5 of 46

9 Fig. 6: Megaureter: convoluted proximal end of double J stent in proximal ureter. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Distal migration is more common than proximal. Stents may migrate entirely into the bladder or even be passed through the urethra. Page 9 of 46

12 Fig. 9: Double J stent migrated into the urethra. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Fig. 10: Double J stent migrated proximally and its proximal end got impacted in the kidney. The distal end was inside the ureter. Endoscopic extraction was attempted, Page 12 of 46
13 but the distal fragment broke off. The stent was finally removed endoscopically three months later, its proximal end was partially calcified. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS When evaluating stent position, one should bear in mind the possibility of an anatomic variation that can make the stent look improperly placed. Page 13 of 46
14 Fig. 11: Kinking of the right ureter. Double J stent correctly placed. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS If placed too high, stents might penetrate the renal parenchyma or the renal capsule, and cause urinomas, abscesses or hematomas. If the proximal end on a KUB radiograph Page 14 of 46
15 projects outside of the kidney, an ultrasound or CT examination should be immediately performed to evaluate possible complications. Fig. 12: Fausse route - double J stent perforated the right ureteral wall 4 cm above the ureterovesical junction, crossing the midline to the contralateral side. Page 15 of 46
16 References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Fig. 13: Double J stent placed too high and perforated the ureter. The proximal end is below the diaphragm, and the distal one is almost entirely in the ureter. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Page 16 of 46
17 Fig. 14: Double J stent placed too high perforated the renal cortex with consequent hematoma and abscess formation, visible on ultrasound (yellow arrow - stent; white arrow - abscess). References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS If the proximal end projects inside the kidney, but close to its surface, an ultrasound examination should be performed to see whether it penetrates the renal parenchyma or just enters a calyx. Page 17 of 46
18 Fig. 15: KUB: Proximal tip of the stent projects almost to the renal border (red arrow). US: The stent (yellow arrow) is seen penetrating the renal cortex and reaching the capsule. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS If a stent is left too long, urine constituents may deposit on its surface leading to encrustation. A encrustated stent may fracture spontaneously or while being removed. 1) Encrustation develops more often on the extraureteric portions. It usually presents as increased radioopacity of the stent and/or radioopaque deposits. Page 18 of 46
19 Fig. 16: Encrustation of double J stent nine months after insertion - the whole stent is of uniformly higher opacity. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Page 19 of 46
20 Fig. 17: Encrustated intravesical end. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS However, encrustation, even when severe, need not be visible on KUB radiographs! Page 20 of 46
21 Fig. 18: "Forgotten stent" - double J stent 2,5 years after insertion. The stent was partially encrustated. No definitive radiological signs of encrustation. Consequent atrophy of the left kidney. References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Page 21 of 46
22 Ultrasound may be helpful in detecting early encrustation, especially of the intravesical 3) end. Twinkling artifact on colour-doppler sonography may increase diagnostic accuracy. Double J stents are commonly used for management of urolithiasis. Main indications in that aspect are intractable pain, infected pyelonephrosis, impaired renal function due 4) to obstruction and after ESWL or endoscopic procedures. They are also helpful in monitoring of passage of stones and stone fragments. Page 22 of 46

24 It is important to thoroughly evaluate the whole length of the stent, as stone fragments may appear very faint. Fig. 20: Double J stent before and after ESWL treatment of kidney stone. Left: Before ESWL. Middle and right: After ESWL - stone fragments in the distal ureter: two small ones prevesically (yellow arrow), a phlebolith (green arrow) and a very discreet opacity which proved to be the largest stone fragment (red arrow). References: Clinical center "Dr Dragisa Misovic - Dedinje" - Belgrade/RS Sometimes, a large or impacted stone may impede stent insertion, resulting in an improperly placed or migrated stent.
