[Arterio-ureteral fistula: diagnostic and therapeutic approach].

The diagnosis of arterio-ureteric fistula must be considered in the case of sudden onset of abundant or intermittent haematuria occurring in a particular context (history of aorto-iliac vascular surgery, prolonged ureteric stenting, ilio-pelvic radiotherapy). Emergency treatment must control bleeding. Endovascular stenting may be a useful technique, followed by reconstructive surgery with vascular bypass graft and treatment of the ureteric lesion.
