MILLAN RODRIGUEZ, F. et al. Extracorporeal wave lithotripsy assisted drawing of a calcified ureteral stent left out for two years. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2003, vol.27, n.4, pp.301-304. ISSN 0210-4806.

A 45 year old man with a 2 year forgotten left double-pigtail ureteric stent was referred to our hospital. Because of distal calcifications, the stent could not be removed by means of a cystoscopy. So, extracorporeal wave lithotripsies were performed and then the stent were easily removed in two fragments by cystoscopy and ureteroscopy.
