While uncommon, ureteral arterial fistula (UAF) should be a differential diagnosis for persistent hematuria, as management involves coordinated treatment with a multidisciplinary team. Despite various diagnostic modalities available, accuracy in diagnosis remains a challenge. We present a patient with known UAF risk factors, including chronic ureteral stent, history of radiation, and vascular procedures. Despite multiple negative imaging studies, UAF was ultimately diagnosed and successfully managed by an endovascular approach, with resolution of her hematuria.
虽然输尿管动脉瘘(UAF)并不常见,但对于持续性血尿应将其列为鉴别诊断之一,因为治疗需要多学科团队的协同治疗。尽管有多种可用的诊断方式,但诊断的准确性仍然是一项挑战。我们报告一例具有已知UAF危险因素的患者,包括慢性输尿管支架、放疗史和血管手术史。尽管多项影像学检查结果为阴性,但最终诊断为UAF,并通过血管内介入方法成功治疗,患者血尿得以缓解。
