Abstract
Obstructive uropathy and urosepsis constitute a medical emergency and require emergent decompression of the urinary collecting system. Image-guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement using ultrasound and fluoroscopy allows for decompression of the obstructed renal collecting system with minimal complications.
