Hemophilia and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: a case report.
We report renal calculi fragmentation in a hemophiliac patient through the use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The Dornier Human Model III lithotriptor was used with the patient under general anesthesia and high frequency intermittent positive pressure ventilation was delivered via a Siemen-Elema 900-D Ventilator. The pathological features and clinical course are discussed.
