Definitions
- the invention is based on a ureteral catheter
- kidney pelvis merging into a rollable shaft section with a plurality of passage openings which are connected to the lumen and
- Such a ureteral catheter has become known from EP-A-208841.
- Known ureteral catheters have two roll-in shaft ends that fix the catheter in position and prevent uncontrollable migration into the kidney pelvis or into the bladder.
- the bladder-side end of such ureteral catheters can alternatively be provided with a valve mechanism, which likewise prevents uncontrolled migration of the ureteral catheter and, above all, vesico-ureteral reflux.
- the ureteral catheters bridge the ureter and ensure a safe flow of urine from the renal pelvis into the bladder.
- the known ureteral catheters cannot solve the problem requiring treatment alone.
- terperistalsis for example in connection with the forced expulsion of stone fragments after shock wave lithotrypsia, can be used.
- At the end of the ureteral catheter on the kidney side at least one electrode which can be coupled or is connected to a current source is designed such that it can at least emit electrical pulses to an adjacent tissue, or that the open end
- a body-free end is that the passage openings are limited to the end of the kidney pelvis and that at the end of the catheter at the kidney pelvis at least one electrode which can be coupled or is connected to a current source is designed such that it can at least emit electrical pulses to an adjacent tissue .
- the ureteral catheter according to the invention thus has the essential advantage that it can stimulate the pacemaker centers (pacemaker centers) located in the upper urinary tract in such a way that the ureter is stimulated to rhythmic contractions which are necessary for regulated urinary transport from the kidney pelvis to the bladder.
- pacemaker centers pacemaker centers located in the upper urinary tract in such a way that the ureter is stimulated to rhythmic contractions which are necessary for regulated urinary transport from the kidney pelvis to the bladder.
- the different pacemaker centers (middle cup group, cone of the kidney pelvis, upper, middle or lower ureter) can be stimulated with different frequencies and / or current strengths.
- the middle calyx group is preferably stimulated.
- the peristalsis of the ureter is restarted by topical irritation by means of electrical current pulses in the area of one of these pacemaker centers. If the ureteral catheter according to the invention is used, this leads to a general improvement in the urodynamics of the decompensated upper urinary tract, so that primarily an operative intervention can be avoided or, however, in previously operated children, e.g. B. in cutan ureterostomy in megaureters or in operations of a decompensated ureteral stenosis with hydronephrosis and spontaneous pacemaker loss and renal parenchymal damage to the urinary flow is further improved.
- the open end is a body-free end
- a spontaneous emptying and relief of the renal pelvis via the catheter into the body-free area can take place.
- a retrograde filling of the hollow kidney system with a liquid from the outside is possible.
- An optimal bolus can be achieved via the retrograde artificial filling of the pyelon.
- the peristaltic activity of the ureter can be stimulated and the transport activity of the ureter can be promoted by the electrode in the area of the pacemaker centers.
- Kidney stones which are present in large numbers as stone fragments in the ureter, for example after a shock wave lithotrypsia (extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy [ESWL]), may block, at least partially, these and / or possibly a kidney basin. Causing overpressure can be improved with a liquid supplied from outside and, above all, can be flushed out safely and completely into the bladder in a shorter time.
- ESWL extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy
- the body-free end is led directly outwards via a percutaneous nephrotomy.
- this has the advantage that the ureter itself is not loaded with a catheter system.
- electrical stimulation takes place via the electrode on the side of the kidney. Liquids of higher viscosity than urine applied in antigrad support the forced expulsion of stone fragments via the ureters.
- Colic infections and inflammation of the kidneys that cannot be excluded can be prevented.
- This flushing can also be carried out with liquids of higher viscosity.
- the effectiveness of the electrostimulation can be ascertained via the amount of liquid supplied and removed, and known radiographic or electromyographic methods can be dispensed with.
- two electrodes are provided at the end of the catheter on the kidney side.
- the ureteral catheter according to the invention can be operated not only unipolar but also bipolar.
- the bipolar mode of operation is more effective, safer and less stressful for the patient.
- the electrode or the electrodes are made of an electrically conductive material, preferably platinum, and are helically attached to the outer circumference of the ureteral catheter, or the electrode or the electrodes are in the form of axially extending metallic tube pieces Integrated outer surface of the ureteral catheter.
- the electrode or the electrodes are designed as tube pieces, they can be incorporated into the catheter shaft and the lines run in the catheter shaft up to the free end of the catheter in the body-free area. There, the line or lines can again lead into one or more stirring pieces attached to the outer surface of the catheter, which are to be provided as connection contacts for a current source to be connected.
- the electrode or the electrodes are worked into the outer surface of the catheter without a step.
- ureteral catheter according to the invention can be advanced as gently as possible on the inner walls of the hollow organs when inserted through the urethra into the ureter.
- these can additionally be covered with an electrically conductive protective film.
- the electrode or electrodes are formed from an electrically conductive plastic which is incorporated as a shaft section in the ureteral catheter.
- the entire shaft surface can be given a uniform surface quality, and the flexibility of the ureteral catheter does not differ significantly from the other shaft regions in the area of the electrodes.
- the electrodes or the electrodes are connected to lines which run in the catheter wall and exit at the end of the catheter on the bladder side.
- the lines are provided with an insulating sheath at least outside the catheter, and the free ends of the lines are equipped with connecting means for a current source to be connected.

- a ureteral catheter 10 has an elongated shaft and a lumen 15 for drainage between the kidney pelvis and bladder and / or for the supply of liquids into the kidney pelvis.
- the end 11 of the ureteral catheter 10 on the side of the kidney is closed and a plurality of passage openings 17 ensure access to the lumen 15.
- the end 12 of the ureteral catheter 10 on the bladder side is open.
- the ureteral catheter can extend from the kidney to the outside into a region free of the body, and the passage openings are only provided at the end of the ureteral catheter on the kidney side.
- the kidney pelvis can be filled with a liquid from outside via the ureteral catheter and stone fragments located in the ureter can be washed out more easily.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une sonde urétérale (10) présentant une tige allongée et une lumière (15) servant à effectuer un drainage dans la zone comprise entre le bassinet et la vessie et/ou à activer les contractions péristaltiques de l'uretère. L'extrémité (11) de la sonde urétérale (10) située côté bassinet est fermée et plusieurs ouvertures de passage (17) garantissent l'accès à la lumière (15). L'extrémité (12) de la sonde urétérale (10) située côté vessie est ouverte. L'extrémité (11) de la sonde (10) située côté bassinet comporte au moins une électrode (19) reliée à une source de courant, laquelle peut au moins délivrer une impulsion électrique à un tissu contigu. Dans un mode de réalisation, la sonde urétérale peut s'étendre depuis le rein vers l'extérieur, dans une zone externe du corps et seulement l'extrémité de la sonde urétérale située côté bassinet comporte des ouvertures de passage. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, le bassinet peut être rempli depuis l'extérieur et par l'intermédiaire de la sonde urétérale, avec un liquide, et les fragments de calculs se trouvant dans l'uretère peuvent être évacués plus facilement.
