Iatrogenic ureteroarterial fistula treated by the placement of Allium stent: a case report and literature review

Ureteroarterial fistula (UAF) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition, which is challenging for urologists. It is traditionally treated by open surgical repair and endovascular repair. Intraureteral repair (IUR) was also previously reported, however all at the expense of normal kidney function. Here we present a case of unexpected UAF during urologic procedure which was successfully treated by a self-expanding Allium ureteral stent.
