Internal drainage of extrinsic malignant ureteral obstruction with metal mesh stents provides long-term decompression of the upper urinary tract in select cases. Certain problems limit the application of metal mesh stents in the ureter. Further studies are warranted to identify independent predictors of ureteral patency after the application of metal stents for malignant obstruction.

Percutaneous endovascular treatment of VAs and VPAs is safe and effective with low morbidity and mortality. There is a small but significant reintervention rate, particularly for true aneurysms; dedicated follow-up imaging is recommended. Successful aneurysm exclusion was achieved in all cases with a second procedure.
