Abstract:Purpose: To estimate the effects of verapamil on pelvic pressure and investigate the possible systemic side effects in the porcine model during the procedure of increasing perfusion rates. Materials and Methods: In the experimental group, the pelvic pressure was recorded with increasing perfusion rates of the renal pelvis (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14 and 20 ml/min) in response to intraluminal administration of increasing concentrations of verapamil (0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 µg/ml) in isotonic saline. In the isotonic sa… Show more
