Endovascular Treatment of a Right-Sided Ureteroiliac Fistula in a Patient with a Simultaneous Left-Sided Ureteroileal Fistula

Abstract EN

We describe an 80-year-old female with a left ureteroileal fistula and simultaneously a right ureteroiliac fistula.

Her history highlights the predisposing factors of radiation, major surgery in the region, and presence of bilateral double-J-stents.

She was successfully treated with an endovascular approach after being initially misdiagnosed.

There seems to be an increase in reporting ureteral fistulas, however this entity remains a rare clinical condition that can lead to life-threatening situations.

A fast and accurate diagnosis of an ureteroarterial fistula remains a challenge.
