ABSTRACT
Transplant ureteral stricture can be treated by either incisional surgery or percutaneous endoluminal dilation. We present 17 cases of percutaneous 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 done on a short and recent juxta-anastomotic stricture stented with a 10F Double-J* catheter for 2 months.
