Résumé
Ureteral obstruction is a prevalent urological condition associated with significant complications. The purpose of our study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel self-expanding, large caliber, biocompatible polymer-coated ureteral stent (Allium) for the treatment of ureteral obstructions. We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from patients who underwent Allium ureteral stent placement at our institute between November 2018 and May 2023. Demographic, clinical, and perioperative parameters were collected and analyzed. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify preoperative factors predicting Allium stent migration. The study cohort comprised 30 patients who received a total of 40 successfully implanted Allium stents. No significant adverse events related to the insertion procedure were observed. During a median follow-up period of 29 months (range: 1-60 months), migration occurred in 11 (27.5%) stents while encrustation was noted in 8 (20%) stents. The median functional duration of the Allium stents was found to be 22 months (range:1-60 months), with an overall functioning rate at last follow-up being recorded as 59.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that the glomerular filtration rate of the ipsilateral kidney was the sole risk factor predictive of Allium stent migration. With its minimal invasiveness and good tolerability, the Allium stent represents a safe and viable management option for treating ureteric obstructions; however, it should not be considered as definitive treatment but rather as an alternative option for patients unwilling or unsuitable for definitive treatment, particularly high-risk individuals or elderly patients exhibiting decreased ipsilateral glomerular filtration rates.
