Insertion of J stent is a very common procedure performed by urologists. This procedure is often performed to relieve ureteral obstruction due to stones, tumours, ureteral kink, or stricture on urgent basis. An increasing number of urologists are using a flexible cystoscope and local anaesthetic for J stent insertion. Occasionally, the guide wire curls in the bladder, making it impossible to insert the J stent. Here, we describe a simple method to overcome this problem using modified ureteral dilator, which is usually available in the cystoscopy suite.

The publication of a paper describing a method for catheterisation of the pulmonary artery in transposition of the great arteries1 prompts the preliminary report of a technique which we have devised and used successfully in transposition of the great arteries with subpulmonic stenosis. Following the study of the outflow tract of the left ventricle in transposition of the great arteries, a 0.045 I.D. Formocath B.D. catheter* was made out of Hanafee tubing with a curve as illustrated in Figure 1A. It is used as follows: a No. 6 Lehman catheter is passed to the left ventricle. A 220 cm guide wire is inserted through this with the nonflexible end foremost, into the apex of the left ventricle.
