We describe a patient who presented with 2 episodes of staphylococcal bacteremia associated with a ureteral stricture and struvite calculi involving the calices, renal pelvis and proximal ureter of a cadaveric renal allograft. The patient was treated successfully with a combination of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous extraction and balloon dilation of the ureteral stricture. Renal transplant function was not altered postoperatively. In selected cases shock wave lithotripsy can be used as effective adjunctive therapy in a renal allograft harboring stones. © 1988 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byWiatrak M, Ohl D and Sonda L (2018) Stryker Frame Gantry Modification for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy to Circumvent Positioning ProblemsJournal of Urology, VOL. 146, NO. 2 Part 1, (283-286), Online publication date: 1-Aug-1991.Chaussy C and Fuchs G (2018) Current State and Future Developments of Noninvasive Treatment of Human Urinary Stones With Extracorporeal Shock Wave LithotripsyJournal of Urology, VOL. 141, NO. 3 Part 2, (782-789), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1989.
