Comparison of single and tandem ureteral stenting for malignant ureteral obstruction: a prospective study of 104 patients.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The principal aim of our study was to establish concordance between post-mortem CT (PMCT) and forensic standard autopsy (SA) in detecting lesions according to different anatomical regions. A secondary aim was to determine the efficacy of PMCT in showing lethal lesions. METHODS:PMCTs were compared with autop...
