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.

Here we present a case of unexpected UAF during urologic procedure which was successfully treated by a self-expanding Allium ureteral stent.
