Core Tip
Core Tip: Ureteral-iliac artery fistula is a rare disease resulting from the pathological connection between the ureter and iliac artery, with artificial iliac artery-ureteral fistula being rarer. Iliac artery ureteral fistula is challenging to diagnose, and the misdiagnosis and mortality rates are high. A case of artificial iliac artery ureteral fistula was reported in this paper. The patient was a 69-year-old male with paroxysmal painless hematuria. The artificial iliac artery ureteral fistula was diagnosed by angiography. The hematuria was stopped after intravascular stent implantation, and no bleeding occurred after 4 mo of follow-up.
