Evaluation of a New Design of Antireflux-biodegradable Ureteral Stent in Animal Model

BDG-ARS avoided VUR and bladder trigone irritation. In addition, this polymer combination and stent-braided design achieved a consistent biodegradation rate with no obstructive fragments and with uniform degradation between the third and the sixth weeks. Consequently, morbidity associated with ureteral stents might be reduced.
