title: Treatment of ureteroarterial fistula with an endoureteral stent graft.
abstract: A patient with a history of total cystectomy for bladder cancer, cutaneous ureterostomy, irradiation, and long-term indwelling urinary catheters presented with an aortoureteral fistula (UAF), which was treated with an endoureteral stent graft. The described ureteral approach using stent grafts may be considered for the management of UAFs when more traditional approaches are unavailable.
