It was reported that after a renal transplant procedure the doctor went to remove the double-jackal stent/catheter from the patient.Upon removal it was clear that the stent/catheter had broken, leaving a 3cm piece of stent/catheter in the parenchymal tissue.Per additional information received from ibc via email on 27sep2018; the stent/catheter was broken inside of the patient and it was decided to leave the segment in place.The patient was given the antibiotic, carbapenemic.It was unknown if or when the piece would be removed.

The device was not returned for evaluation.The lot number is unknown; therefore, the device history record could not be reviewed.The instructions for use were found adequate and state the following: "potential complications: potential complications associated with retrograde/antegrade positioning of indwelling ureteral stents include the following: ¿ edema ¿ stone formation ¿ peritonitis ¿ extravasation ¿ ureteral reflux ¿ stent dislogdgement, ¿ fistula formation ¿ loss of renal function fragmentation, migration, occlusion ¿ hemorrhage ¿ pain/discomfort ¿ stent encrustation ¿ hydronephrosis ¿ perforation of kidney, renal ¿ ureteral erosion ¿ infection pelvis, ureter and/or bladder ¿ urinary symptoms directions for use: 1.Determine the proper stent length for the patient.This is generally calculated from the baseline pyelogram.Accurate measurements will optimize drainage efficiency and patient comfort.2.Insert the cystoscope then pass the guidewire* through the scope until the tip is in the renal pelvis.3.Move the pigtail straightener over the proximal end (kidney coil end) of the ureteral stent allowing easier insertion onto the guidewire.Remove pigtail straightener once the stent is secure on the guidewire.4.Pass the stent over the guidewire through the cystoscope by using the push catheter for proper placement.5.Watch the distal end (bladder coil end) of the stent or the radiopaque, proximal end of the pusher.Stop advancing when the stent¿s distal end marker reaches the ureterovesical junction (uvj).**(see below for proper placement directions on the multi-length ureteral stent.) 6.Withdraw the guidewire slowly.The stent will form a pigtail automatically.7.Carefully remove the push catheter.*activate the guidewire coating according to the ¿instructions for use¿ found within the guidewire packaging.**multi-length ureteral stent placement: to accurately size this stent count the marker bands as it is being advanced into the ureter.The first large band indicates the 22cm length.The second and third bands indicate 24cm and 26cm lengths respectively.The last large band is the 28cm length.If you need to place for the 30cm and 32cm lengths, use the attached suture or endoscopic forceps to gently pull back on the stent unwinding the coil from the kidney." correction: patient identifier.
