Abstract
Transplant ureteral stricture can be treated by either incisional surg ery or percutaneous endoluminal dilation. We present 17 cases of percu taneous antegrade endoluminal dilation. The results of this procedure were satisfactory, with a 70% success rate that seems to be maintained during long-term followup. The results were better if dilation was do ne on a short and recent juxta-anastomotic stricture stented with a 10 F Double-J catheter for 2 months.
