An important role for the CT scan with contrast is to
detect ureteral involvement and possible renal insufficiency.»
As conventional methods for
correcting ureteral obstructions are often less than optimal, it is hopeful that implantation of this SUB system will hold promise as a viable alternative.
Initial data regarding use of SUB systems indicate fewer long - term complications compared with
traditional ureteral surgery.

Her own cat has undergone
ureteral stenting and ureteral bypass, providing a firsthand view of the advantages of these procedures.
IR is currently being utilized for the treatment of intrahepatic portosystemic shunts,
