Inclusion criteria

* Age \> 45 years; * In urinary retention and catheterized (indwelling or intermittent) for less than 180 days; * Documented diagnostic history (within 180 days of study) of detrusor contractility (\>= 15 cmH2O) confirmed via pressure-flow test; * Negative Urinalysis on Visit 1; * Not a candidate for pharmacologic, minimally invasive or surgical treatment of the prostate; * Charlson Weighted Index of Comorbidity Score \>= 1; * Willing and able to sign the Informed Consent Form; * Willing and able to complete the follow-up protocol requirements; * Experiencing catheter-induced discomfort.

Exclusion criteria

* Current use of a urinary catheter daily for greater than 180 consecutive days immediately preceding entering into the study; * Positive Urinalysis on Visit 1; * Current or recent (within the last 6 months) urinary tract disease including urethral stricture, bladder stones, and other significant urological conditions or surgery; * Surgery altering the normal uro-genital anatomy or abnormal urethral anatomy that affect the function of the lower urinary tract; * History of conditions associated with neurogenic bladder, including spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease; * Use of anticholinergic medication; * Gross hematuria when catheter is removed on Visit 1; * Known or suspected prostate cancer; * Prior pelvic irradiation therapy; * Prostatic urethral length \< 4 cm or \> 9 cm (combined length from the top proximal side of the bladder neck to the bottom distal side of the external sphincter); * Intravesical enlargement of the median lobe of the prostate.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Distribution of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS Score) Over 90 Days30, 60 and 90 daysTo determine the distribution of IPSS Scores at each stent replacement visit (Visit 2, 3 and 4). The IPSS Score is calculated from the responses to seven questions related to the severity and frequency of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Each of the seven scored questions are put on a scale of 0-5, with the score of 5 being the worst score and the most severe symptom. The scores for the seven questions are added up and the IPSS score therefore ranges from 0-35, with 0 being the best score and 35 being the worst score. Scores of 0-7 are categorized as Mild Symptoms. Scores of 8-19 are categorized as Moderate Symptoms. Scores of 20-35 are categorized as Severe Symptoms.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 109 subjects were screened for inclusion. Two subjects were excluded because they did not meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria and did not participate. Therefore the Intent to Treat population was 107 subjects, each of whom received at least 1 stent insertion.

The Distribution of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS Score) Over 90 Days

To determine the distribution of IPSS Scores at each stent replacement visit (Visit 2, 3 and 4). The IPSS Score is calculated from the responses to seven questions related to the severity and frequency of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Each of the seven scored questions are put on a scale of 0-5, with the score of 5 being the worst score and the most severe symptom. The scores for the seven questions are added up and the IPSS score therefore ranges from 0-35, with 0 being the best score and 35 being the worst score. Scores of 0-7 are categorized as Mild Symptoms. Scores of 8-19 are categorized as Moderate Symptoms. Scores of 20-35 are categorized as Severe Symptoms.

Time frame: 30, 60 and 90 days

Population: All active patients in the Intent to Treat Population. On Visit 2, 89 subjects remained active in the study. On Visit 3 and Visit 4 82 subjects remained active in the study.
