Ureteroarterial fistula: a case report.
We report on a patient with a fistula between the right common iliac artery and the distal right ureter who had undergone pelvic exenteration for carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The patient also had received prior radiation therapy and was being treated with an indwelling ureteral stent at the time the fistula developed. Diagnosis was made by an occlusive ureterogram and the lesion was treated successfully with embolization of the common iliac artery.
