Urethral stenting in a cat with refractory obstructive feline lower urinary tract disease. [Journal Article]
J Vet Med Sci 2009 Sep; 71(9):1255-9.
A 10-year-old male Korean domestic short-haired cat was presented with refractory lower urinary tract obstruction. The cat was treated by urethral stent placement using a self-expanding nitinol intraluminal stent (Zilver((R)) 535 biliary stents, COOK((R)), U.S.A.) subsequent with balloon expansion. Although the cat showed 2 days of transient hematuria after the stent placement, no further obstruction was occurred after the stent placement. Follow-up studies performed at monthly intervals have found no re-stenosis or particular complications, to date.
