Abstract
Gross hematuria following percutaneous or endourological intervention is well known and widely documented. We report an unusual case of angi ographically documented hemorrhage from a ureteral branch that was inj ured by cystoscopic removal of a Double-J dagger stent, and subsequent successful transcatheter embolization. This case demonstrates the imp ortant role of angiographic diagnosis and therapy in the management of iatrogenic hemorrhage.
