Segmental stenosis of ureter: a late complication of intra-arterial chemotherapy for bladder cancer.
A 54-year-old Japanese male was treated with a single shot of cisplatin-phosphatidylcholine-lipiodol (CPL) suspension due to bladder tumour (stage T2N0M0). Seven months later, a right lower ureteral stenosis developed. The possible cause of ureteral stenosis due to intra-arterial chemotherapy is discussed.
