We describe the first case of an ureteroarterial fistula developing after orthotopic neobladder substitution and its minimally invasive management using endovascular stent grafting. We outline the risk factors for the development of ureteroarterial fistulae and trace the evolution of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used in the management of these life-threatening complications. Minimally invasive management with endovascular stent grafting and exclusion of two pseudoaneurysms in the iliac artery system was performed successfully. After successful endovascular exclusion of two pseudoaneurysms, the patient's hematuria resolved and he recovered fully. Three-dimensional computed tomography performed 3 months later documented a patent aortoiliac arterial system without evidence of pseudoaneurysm or endovascular leak. Ureteroarterial fistula after orthotopic bladder substitution was managed with an endovascular stent graft without the need for extra-anatomical vascular bypass. Early recognition, stabilization, and angiographic evaluation followed by this minimally invasive technique may avoid open operative repair and attendant morbidity.
