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.

Ejecta‐Modulated Bubble Dynamics Play a Dominant Role in Stone Retropulsion (Adv. Sci. 22/2026)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 22, 17 April 2026.
Stone Retropulsion This cover highlights a paradigm shift in laser lithotripsy retropulsion. Although the MOSES effect guides laser energy through vapor bubbles to ablate stone material, asymmetric bubble collapse generates high‐momentum directional jets and vortical flows responsible for stone retropulsion, while ejecta plays a secondary role by ...

Comparison of lithotripsy methods during mini-PNL: is there a role for ballistic lithotripsy in the era of high-power lasers

BMC Urology
Background For renal stones > 20 mm, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) offers the best stone clearance rates with acceptable complication rates. This study aimed to compare the efficiency of high-power holmium YAG laser and ballistic lithotripsy during ...
