Balloon dilation is an effective method of percutaneous renal access, but it can be impossible in patients with perirenal scarring. We report the use of an atherotomy cutting balloon for dilation of the chronic nephrostomy tract. The ease of use makes this device a useful alternative to standard dilation techniques.
球囊扩张术是经皮肾穿刺造瘘的一种有效方法,但对于肾周有瘢痕形成的患者可能无法实施。我们报告了使用动脉粥样硬化斑块切割球囊扩张慢性肾造瘘通道的情况。该装置使用简便,是标准扩张技术的一种有用替代方法。
