Article Abstract
Ureteroiliac fistula is a rare complication associated with ureteral stenting and iliac artery reconstruction and can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. We report a case of acute bleeding from a ureteroiliac fistula in an 89-year-old man with bladder cancer who had undergone pelvic radiation, radical cystectomy, and ileal conduit complicated by ureteral strictures requiring routine stent exchanges. Multidisciplinary diagnostic therapies revealed the fistula, which was treated with hypogastric artery coiling and covered stent placement. No further bleeding issues had resulted from the fistula at 11 months of follow-up. The presence of a ureteroiliac fistula should be considered in any patient with a similar history.

A uretroarterial fistula is a rare complication which is associated with multiple risk factors and can be life-threatening due to potential massive blood loss. Timely diagnosis of a ureteroarterial fistula can be challenging, as it is often missed on most imaging modalities. We present a case of a ureteroarterial fistula in a patient with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and percutaneous ureteral stenting.

Uretero-iliac artery fistula is an uncommon finding, which typically occurs following abdominal surgery, trauma, radiation, or ureteral stent placement. This usually presents in a patient with intermittent hematuria, making it difficult to diagnosis. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is gold-standard for diagnosis, but a high-degree of clinical suspicion must be present to make the diagnosis.

Fistulas arising between ureters and iliac arteries (UAF) are rare pathological events and frequently require emergency treatment, as they are associated with massive haematuria and haemorrhagic shock. The medical history plays a key role in the diagnostic and therapeutic process, as it allows to include UAF among the differential diagnoses of gross haematuria. The emergency treatments of fistulas arising between the urinary system and the vascular system include the repairing surgery or the endovascular grafting, the latter generally better tolerated by patients suffering from multiple comorbidities or not eligible for traditional surgery.

Uretero-Iliac artery fistula (UIAF) is a rare condition in vascular surgery, its prognosis remains poor with a high mortality, requires rapid multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of an uretero-Iliac artery fistula in a 65-year-old patient who underwent total pelvectomy with trans-ileal cutaneous ureterostomy (Bricker), followed by pelvic radiotherapy, and placement of a single J ureteral stent, diagnosed by abdominal and pelvic CT, and treated by endovascular approach.
