RPS – Study Highlight (2023)
- Curative Effect
Use of the Allium Round Posterior Stent for the Treatment of Recurrent Vesicourethral Anastomosis Stricture
- 80 % of patients achieved objective cure following Allium RPS stent removal. Their median PFR was 20 mL/s (P = .001). Objective cure was defined as no need for further treatments and PFR ≥ 12 mL/s
- 30 patients
- Median follow-up was 28 months post-stent removal
RPS Study
A New Self-expanding, Large Caliber Allium Bladder-neck Stent (RPS) in Posterior Urethral or Urethro-vesical Anastomotic Stenosis
- 10 patients
- “The Allium RPS is the first “covered stent” specially designed for use in the bladder-neck
Study Summary:
Post-HIFU Urethral Stricture Treatment (Dr. Nativ, 2011)
- Success Rate: During 7 months of post-stent removal follow-up, no outflow obstruction developed and the patient is able to completely empty the bladder
- Patients: 1
- Follow-up: 7 months follow-up post removal. stent indwelling time- 1 year
- Migration Rate: Non mentioned
- Encrustation Rate: Non mentioned
- Comments: Allium RPS effectively restored patency after prostate cancer therapy complications
RPS Study (2021)
- Curative Effect
Minimal Invasive Management of Bladder Neck Contracture Using Allium Round Posterior Stent: The Long-Term Results
- 42 patients with recurrent BNC (post-TURP, Monopolar, Bipolar & Radical prostatectomy)
- Median range follow-up – 59 months
- No adverse events related to RPS placement or the procedure recorded
- 14 % stent migration
