Arterioureteral fistula is a rare but life-threatening condition. An endovascular treatment approach is commonly used; however, there is a potential risk of infection. We present a case in which a patient presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm and a subsequent arterioureteral fistula. An aortic stent graft was inserted to treat the arterioureteral fistula, but it subsequently became infected, resulting in the patient's death. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of arterioureteral fistula and the possibility of graft infection.
动脉输尿管瘘是一种罕见但危及生命的疾病。通常采用血管内治疗方法;然而,存在感染的潜在风险。我们报告一例患者,该患者出现腹痛,被诊断为髂内动脉瘤破裂并继发动脉输尿管瘘。插入主动脉覆膜支架治疗动脉输尿管瘘,但随后发生感染,导致患者死亡。该病例强调了早期诊断和治疗动脉输尿管瘘的重要性以及移植物感染的可能性。
