What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of continuing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) treatment during extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL) for patients with renal lithiasis. Patients over 18 years old, who are on a stable dose of aspirin, will be monitored before, during, and after the ECL procedure to assess pain levels, blood pressure, and any adverse reactions. The study aims to determine if maintaining aspirin therapy impacts the outcomes of the lithotripsy procedure, particularly in terms of stone clearance and hematoma formation.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with at least one renal stone requiring ECL who are currently taking aspirin as monotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with bleeding disorders, those on anticoagulant therapy, or those requiring multiple ECL sessions will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could allow patients to continue their antiplatelet therapy safely during kidney stone treatment, potentially reducing complications.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies on antiplatelet therapy during surgical procedures exist, this specific approach to ECL and aspirin use is relatively novel.
