Arterial aneurysmal sac-ureteral fistula after aortic and common iliac aneurysmal repair: A case report

Abstract

An arterioureteral fistula is the communication between the ureter and a major artery, such as the common iliac artery or aorta. Here, we report a case of a fistula between the ureter and the common iliac arterial aneurysmal sac following abdominal aortic aneurysmal repair in a 72-year-old man. He reported acute-onset abdominal pain on postoperative day 8, and computed tomography revealed a fistula. Ureterocutaneostomy was performed to prevent urine inflow into the aneurysm and to preserve kidney function.
