Arteriovesical Fistula after Ureterolithotomy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

A case is reported of massive recurrent hematuria after ureterolithotomy caused by a fistula between a branch of the hypogastric artery and the bladder.

Arterio-ureteral Fistula – a Systematic Review

“…In one case the fistula has gone to the one patient the nephrectomised kidney was autobladder. 70 A few have engaged the internal iliac artery transplanted. 51 and in one case a polar renal artery after Acusise In recent years there has been an increasing use of endopyelotomy.…”

Abberant Sex Habits Leading to Acute Limb Ischemia and Hematuria

“…2,3 Manipulation of the bladder, for example by cystoscopy or ureterolithotomy, may also cause fistulae. 4,5 In this unique case presented, a self-inserted foreign body was not only responsible for an arteriovesical fistula, but also for acute limb ischemia.…”

Severe hematuria after transurethral electrocoagulation in a patient with an arteriovesical fistula

“…Arteriovesical fistulas can occur iatrogenic injury [2-6], secondary to trauma [1,7-9] and spontaneously [10,11]. Rous et al reported the first case of a ruptured posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery 1 week after a gunshot wound to the lateral aspect of the bladder [7].…”

“…Rous et al reported the first case of a ruptured posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery 1 week after a gunshot wound to the lateral aspect of the bladder [7]. Arteriovesical fistulas are mostly associated with previous pelvic surgeries [2-4], radiotherapy [5] and urologic interventions [6] in patients with vascular disease. There are only two cases where an arteriovesical fistula formed spontaneously due to a ruptured iliac artery aneurysm with hematuria as initial presentation [10,11].…”
