Percutaneously applied ureteral clips: treatment of vesicovaginal fistula

Radiology. 1987 Jun;163(3):819-21. doi: 10.1148/radiology.163.3.3575736.

Abstract

Percutaneous techniques to manage urinary fistulas have had limited success. To overcome this, self-closing metallic clips were developed to occlude the ureter. The clips are applied through a percutaneously placed 30-F Teflon sheath. A case is reported in which the clips and new technique were successfully used.
