I have used these stents on several occasions. They are relatively easy to deploy. However, on two occasions they self deployed while pushing forward and ended up getting stuck partly in the perinephric fat. I have never used the guide wire they provide in the packet and have always deployed over an Amplatz. Not a bad product but just be wary of the self deployment.
