Retrospective first‐in‐human use of the LithoVue™ Elite ureteroscope to measure intrarenal pressure

Abstract

The IRP can now be routinely measured during ureteroscopy. Patients had a median IRP of 28.5 mmHg and a maximum of 174 mmHg. Using a smaller UAS (10/12 F), Asian ethnicity, and tight ureters were found to have higher IRPs.
