LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope for Kidney Stones
(ELITE Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this study is to evaluate the influence of real-time intrarenal pressure measurement availability on surgeons' behavior during ureteroscopy while using the ureteroscope LithoVue Elite.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope for Kidney Stones?
The LithoVue Elite ureteroscope, which measures pressure inside the kidney, has been shown to accurately monitor intrarenal pressure, which is important for making clinical decisions during kidney stone procedures. Studies indicate that it can help manage pressure effectively, potentially reducing complications during surgery.12345
Is the LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope safe for use in humans?
How does the LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope treatment for kidney stones differ from other treatments?
The LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope is unique because it is the first commercial ureteroscope that can measure intrarenal pressure (pressure inside the kidney) during the procedure, which helps in making better clinical decisions. This feature is not available in traditional ureteroscopes, making it a novel tool for managing kidney stones.12356
