Arterioureteral fistula--a rare complication of ureterolithotomy: treatment with embolization

J Endourol. 2002 Mar;16(2):97-9. doi: 10.1089/089277902753619591.

Abstract

Fistula formation between a ureteral branch of a renal artery and the ipsilateral ureter is rare. We describe a case that followed ureterolithotomy of an impacted stone. Selective angiography with embolization of the bleeding branch was curative.
