Ileal conduit is usually created for urinary diversion after radical cystectomy. The complications of ileal conduit are mainly metabolic. The management of ileal conduit bleeding is challenging, especially in non-cirrhotic patients. We report a patient with gross haematuria from an ileal conduit where super selective arterial embolization was successfully performed after all conservative measures failed.
