“…Several conditions can explain the formation of fistulas between an iliac artery and the ureter: underlying vascular pathology, previous surgery (genitourinary, pelvic and vascular operations), previous radiotherapy (although only in combination with surgery) and endoureteral procedures (e.g., prolonged use of ureteral stents or catheters, especially rigid ones, ureterolithotomy complicated with a urinary leakage). [7][8][9][10][11] Like our patient, most people developing these fistulas have a history of pelvic malignancy. Infection and pregnancy are also risk factors.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] In a review of 80 cases of ureterovascular fistulas, Bergqvist and colleagues reported that 36% occurred in the setting of ileal conduits, suggesting even when a urinary diversion is present, a fistula to the ureter is more likely. 11 Certainly, the least reported type of fistula is one between a neobladder and artery. In 2006, Gallucci and colleagues described a case of a 62-year-old male who, following an episode of hematuria and clot urinary retention, was diagnosed with an arterio-neobladder fistula by angiography.…”

“…Un seul cas de FAU par suite d'une blessure par arme à feu a été signalé dans la littérature 11 . Par ailleurs, les FAU peuvent être primitives (15 % des cas), survenant essentiellement sur un terrain de pathologie vasculaire artérielle, surtout un anévrysme aorto-iliaque 1 .…”
