An unusual complication after a cystectomy: a case of iliac artery-neobladder fistula.
Iliac artery-neobladder fistula is very rare and only a few cases have been reported. The authors report a case of a 62-year-old man, diagnosed with a CT scan and an angiographic procedure and treated with a vascular endoprothesis placed through a percutaneous femoral access. The important role of early recognition is focussed on.
