ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to perform a procedure called ureterography, which helps doctors see problems in the ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder). Traditionally, a special dye is injected to get clear images, but this trial is investigating whether using air instead of dye can be a safe and effective alternative. This could make the procedure less invasive and possibly more affordable, as the dye can sometimes be hard to get and expensive.

Anyone who is scheduled to undergo ureteral surgery may be eligible to participate in this trial. There are no specific exclusions, which means that most patients can join. If you participate, you will receive the standard care for ureterography, but instead of dye, air will be used to help visualize your ureters. The trial aims to ensure that using air doesn’t lead to any complications, such as air bubbles in the bloodstream, while still allowing doctors to see what they need to. This could potentially change how ureterography is done in the future!
