Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy in hemophiliac patient.
We report on a patient with hemophilia A who underwent successful extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy without incident. We are aware of two other reported cases in the literature. The relative risks of alternative methods of stone management and the indications and risks of blood product therapy in this condition are reviewed.
