Wiki Calcified ureteral stent , RT ESWL of proximal ureteral Stent

[carol52]

Hello I have never seen this procedure performed on an encrusted ureteral stent.

there were calcifications on the proximal coil and distal coil of the stent. ESWL was initiated was performed at 100 shocks
to allow the kidney to rest. The shock rate started at a rate of 60 shock/minute and gradually increased.
A rigid cystoscopy was advanced and the distal stent coil was completely encrusted. I used rigid graspers to break the stone up into small fragments then removed the fragments.
The stent was grasped and removed without complications.
I have no idea how to code this one....
Thanks,
Carol

Wow! That is so cool that they can use ESWL on the stent! I bet it will be an unlisted code.

Thank you for looking... I have checked on the American Urology Association and Coding Today but
no results come up....
Thank you for looking at this one for me !!
