Iatrogenic Urological Lesions in Vascular Surgery: Uretero-Arterial Fistula after Positioning of “double J” for Ureteral Stenosis after Aorto-Phemoral Bypass
The Authors report the case of a patient with double iatrogenic complications: 1) ureteral obstruction secondary to vascular bypass surgery; 2) uretero-arterial fistula after positioning of an indwelling double J ureteral stent. The increasing frequency of these complications stresses the need for utmost care regarding urinary tract integrity after vascular surgery and the choice, positioning and functioning of ureteral stents.
