P. Dauvergne et al., Endovascular treatment of an iliac uretero-arterial fistula. Complication of prolonged double J stenting. A case report., PROG UROL, 11(3), 2001, pp. 534-537
The authors report a case of fistula between the external iliac artery and
the left ureter in a patient with a double J stent for several years to tre
at iatrogenic ureteric stenosis. The diagnosis was suggested by the patient
's history and the presence of bright haematuria from the left ureteric mea
tus. Interventional radiology established the positive diagnosis and allowe
d treatment by placement of a covered prosthesis in the external iliac arte
ry. This is the fourth published case of endovascular treatment of an iliac
uretero-arterial fistula.
