Intravascular double J stent migration: A case report, review, and management algorithm

A double J stent (DJS) is the main therapy for ureteral obstruction when conservative treatment fails. Antegrade migration in the bladder – or retrograde migration in the ureter – are well-known complications. We present a case with intravascular migration of a DJS into the inferior vena cava. Infer...
