First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed registry followed 379 people who received a Boston Scientific ureteral stent to treat a blocked ureter. The goal was to see how well the stent worked and if it caused any serious side effects. Patients also reported on their quality of life. The study provides real-world safety and effectiveness data for these stents.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ureteral stent (implantable device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry confirms that the stents are safe and effective for routine use, supporting their continued availability.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the stents are better than alternatives. Results may not apply to all patients.
