Feasibility and Outcomes of Intravenous Lithotripsy as an Adjunct in Complex Transvenous Lead Extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) of old leads is associated with increased procedural complexity and risk due to the development of calcified vascular adhesions. This may necessitate additional tools to free the leads. Shockwave intravenous lithotripsy (IVL), which employs acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcified lesions, has ...

Assessment of anatomical outcomes in the upper urinary tract following flexible ureteroscopy with flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath: 1‐year results from a multicentre study

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Flexible and navigable suction access sheath (FANS) with flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) has demonstrated favourable 30‐day and 3‐month outcomes for renal stones in normal anatomy. We aimed to investigate the long‐term 1‐year safety and efficacy of FANS for renal and ureteric stones in normal or anomalous anatomy.

A method for reducing thermal injury during the ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy

Asian Journal of Urology, 2023
Objective: Many studies have demonstrated the heat effect from the holmium laser lithotripsy can cause persistent thermal injury to the ureter. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the use of a modified ureteral catheter with appropriate firing and

Ejecta‐Modulated Bubble Dynamics Play a Dominant Role in Stone Retropulsion

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Stone motion during laser ablation is shown to result primarily from asymmetric cavitation bubble collapse, not from ejecta recoil. This challenges long‐standing assumptions and highlights the dominant role of bubble dynamics in laser–material interactions.
