An Unusual Cause of Massive Hematuria: Arterio-Ureteral Fistula, and Review of the Literature

Endovascular treatment for advanced cervical cancer patients with uretero-arterial fistula of pseudoaneurysms of iliac artery

“…Pillai AK et al adopted a combination of iliac artery endovascular stenting with percutaneous nephrostomy combined with ureteral embolization for successful treatment of iliac artery uretero-arterial stula [7]. Vanden and Andrada A et al demonstrated that endovascular stenting is the mainstay of treatment for iliac artery uretero-arterial stula [8,9]. In our cases, patients also underwent external iliac artery embolization and endovascular graft exclusion (EVGE).…”

Ureteroarterial fistula treated by endovascular stent placement

“…Although there are no long-term follow-up studies after endovascular treatment of uretero-arterial fistulas [4] , most authors agree that placement of coated stents is the treatment of choice [1] , [2] , [3] , 5 , 6 , 8] , without needing adjuvant ureteral therapy. With this technique, mortality due to bleeding in uretero-arterial fistula has decreased from 60% to 13% [3] .…”
