Int J Urol. 2006 Jul;13(7):1005-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.2006.01460.x.

Abstract

Iliac artery-neobladder fistula is very rare and only a few cases have been reported. The authors report a case of a 62-year-old man, diagnosed with a CT scan and an angiographic procedure and treated with a vascular endoprothesis placed through a percutaneous femoral access. The important role of early recognition is focussed on.
