Trapping of the double-J stent in the urinary tract eight years after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
We report a case of the 'forgotten' D-J stent in the urinary tract for eight years. In spite of years D-J stent spent in the urinary tract, and the great burden of the new-formed stones, residual renal function still exist. One year after treatment patient is stone free, infection free, with the mild renal failure.
