Official title
Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) With the CVAC® System Compared to Standard Ureteroscopy With no Suction for the Treatment of Renal Stones: a Prospective, Randomized Trial
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) using the CVAC System and standard ureteroscopy (URS) with laser lithotripsy for the treatment of urolithiasis. This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), multi-center study.
Interventions
- Device Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) using the CVAC System
The CVAC Aspiration System is a sterile, single use, steerable ureteral catheter system with integrated vision, irrigation and aspiration for the treatment and removal of urinary stones (kidney stones, fragments, and dust). - Device Standard Ureteroscopy (URS)
Arm Description: This is a treatment in which the urologist uses a laser to break a kidney stone into very small pieces and then places a tool called a stent to allows the remaining pieces to fall out.
Primary outcome measures
- Residual Stone Volume (RSV) [Time frame: 30-Day]
