A ureteral stent was placed surgically to relieve the obstruction and pyonephrosis was treated with antibiotics. Three and a half years following stent placement, the patient developed an abscess on the left flank with chronic purulent discharge. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of a left uretero-cutaneous fistula and renal abscess. A left ureteronephrectomy was performed. The dog was euthanatized 4 mo later for cardiac insufficiency unresponsive to medical treatment. This is the first report of a uretero-cutaneous fistula and renal abscessation as a complication of ureteral stenting in a dog.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,17]],"date-time":"2020-03-17T17:00:33Z","timestamp":1584464433000},"page":"e563-03","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Uretero-Cutaneous Fistula and Renal Abscessation as a Complication of Ureteral Stenting in a Dog"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Xavier","family":"Montasell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (X.M.) and Department of Clinical Sciences (M.D., M.F.), College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal, Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marilyn","family":"Dunn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (X.M.) and Department of Clinical Sciences (M.D., M.F.), College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal, Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mila","family":"Freire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Veterinary Teaching Hospital (X.M.) and Department of Clinical Sciences (M.D., M.F.), College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montreal, Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care","first-page":"86","article-title":"Ureteral obstructions in dogs and cats: a review of traditional and new interventional diagnostic and therapeutic options","volume":"21","author":"Berent\n              AC","year":"2011","unstructured":"Berent\n              AC\n            \n          .
