Aortourinary Fistula: Ureter/Renal

Both aortic and urinary diseases are common occurrences. When aortic disease becomes symptomatic, both medical therapy and surgical intervention options are available for the patient. When urinary system disease occurs, the usual treatment protocol requires antibiotic therapy combined with appropriate diagnostic evaluation. However, when combined aortourinary (A-U) system disease occurs, the symptom complex requires further evaluation and intervention.
