Magnetic stent removal spares kids from anesthesia
NCT ID NCT04384939
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special ureteral stent with a magnetic end in 67 children with urinary tract problems or kidney transplants. The goal was to see if the stent could be removed without general anesthesia, using a magnetic catheter instead. The approach aims to make the removal process simpler and less stressful for children.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- magnetic-end Double-J ureteral stent
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make stent removal easier and avoid the need for general anesthesia in children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (67 children) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The magnetic removal system may fail in some cases.
