Abstract 

We report an unusual case of simultaneous ureteroiliac fistula and common iliac artery occlusion, managed with an endovascular approach. A 69-year-old woman with ureteral transition cell carcinoma, who had a double J tube insertion for her left hydroureter for years, developed sudden onset of massive hematuria. CT scan showed a left common iliac artery-ureteric fistula and right common iliac artery occlusion. This was successfully treated with covered stents.
