Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18-75

  1. Male or female aged ≥ 18 years to ≤ 75 years
  2. Provides written informed consent
  3. Patients with at least one urinary stone measuring 6mm or greater (but no more than a cumulative diameter of 20mm) located proximally to the iliac vessels on one side may be treated.
  4. Urinary stone(s) should be apparent on a CT scan within 60 days prior to study enrollment. Stone assessment will be conducted using CT imaging following CLIN-0025: AEROLITH IDE Study Screening Guide.
  5. Patients with bilateral stones are allowed but only one side may be treated. Only the treated side will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness

  2. Patients with ureteral stones located distal to the iliac vessels on the side to be treated
  3. Diagnosis of radiolucent stones (on the side to be treated) on KUB or Scout CT Imaging
  4. For patients who have a ureteral stent in place, patient is excluded if stent is calcified or encrusted as verified using standard of care imaging (e.g. KUB X-ray)
  5. Patients who have had prior URS-LL within 3 months on the side to be treated at the time of consent.

    aspirin

    24. Prostate biopsy within the last 3 months 25. History of radiation therapy of abdomen and pelvis 26. History of urinary tract reconstruction 27. Other factors that the investigator feels would interfere with the participation and

    completion of the study such as:
