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