Ureteral Embolization to Prevent Thrombotic Obstruction of Nephrostomy Catheters in the Context of Refractory Hemorrhagic Radiation Cystitis with Severe Vesicoureteral Reflux

<div>(a) Nephroureterogram through the indwelling left nephrostomy catheter shows moderate dilation of the left ureter with multiple large, irregular filling defects throughout the collecting system and ureter representing the thrombus burden. The contracted urinary bladder containing a large thrombus burden is also shown. (b) Postembolization fluoroscopic image showing occlusion of both distal ureters with a combination of coils and glue.</div>
