Recurrent Caudate Lobe HCC Supplied by a Variant Right Inferior Adrenal Artery: A Case Report video
Donghyun Kim, Hyo-Cheol Kim
Received June 22, 2026  Accepted July 19, 2026  Published online August 11, 2026  
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64961/kjir.2026.00143    [Epub ahead of print]
Variant right inferior adrenal arterial supply to caudate lobe HCC is rare and may be overlooked. We report a 53-year-old man with recurrent caudate lobe HCC after 12 TACE sessions. During the 13th TACE, cone-beam CT of the common hepatic artery did not reveal tumor vascularity. At the 14th TACE, performed 3 days later, the right inferior phrenic artery, the most common extrahepatic collateral feeder to caudate lobe HCC, showed no tumor supply. Angiography and cone-beam CT from a small aortic common trunk giving rise to a variant right inferior adrenal artery and the right renal capsular artery revealed predominant supply from the variant right inferior adrenal artery. Embolization through these branches achieved compact iodized oil uptake without immediate complications.

Endovascular Management of Type 2 Endoleak after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: An Interventional Radiologist's Perspective
Joon Ho Kwon
Received June 10, 2026  Accepted June 27, 2026  Published online July 14, 2026

Type 2 endoleak (T2EL) is the most common complication after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), occurring in 10%–25% of patients. Although many T2ELs follow a benign course, persistent T2EL is associated with sac expansion, secondary endoleaks, rupture, and aneurysm-related mortality. Endovascular treatment is indicated in cases of progressive sac growth and is broadly divided into the transarterial approach and the direct sac puncture approach—the latter encompassing transabdominal, translumbar, and transcaval routes. Each approach has distinct technical advantages and limitations, and selection should be tailored to the source vessel of the endoleak, sac location, surrounding anatomy, and patient-related factors. Coils, N-butyl cyanoacrylate, and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx) constitute the principal embolic agents, with liquid embolics showing improved durability over coils alone in recent comparative studies. Prophylactic embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery, lumbar arteries, or the aneurysm sac during EVAR has recently emerged as a promising preventive strategy. This review summarizes the current approaches, embolic materials, prophylactic strategies, and clinical outcomes of T2EL management from the perspective of the interventional radiologist.

Interventional Radiology in the Management of Urologic Trauma: A Contemporary Review
Chang Ho Jeon
Korean J Interv Radiol 2025;30(1):9-18.
Published online December 31, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.64961/kjir.2025.00052
Urologic trauma encompasses a spectrum of injuries involving the kidney, ureter, bladder, and urethra, with management strategies increasingly emphasizing organ preservation through minimally invasive, image-guided approaches. The updated American Association for the Surgery of Trauma 2025 grading system provides the most recent guideline for renal trauma classification, reflecting evolving imaging standards and management principles. In parallel, interventional radiology (IR) has assumed an increasingly important role in contemporary trauma care, offering effective, organ-preserving solutions through endovascular and percutaneous techniques. Renal trauma, the most frequent form of genitourinary injury, is now primarily managed non-operatively in hemodynamically stable patients, with transcatheter arterial embolization and stent-based repair serving as cornerstones of hemorrhage control and renal salvage in high-grade lesions. Clinical evidence demonstrates that selective or superselective embolization achieves high technical success and renal preservation, consolidating IR as a key component of multidisciplinary trauma management. Injuries to the lower urinary tract remain complex, but minimally invasive, image-guided interventions are increasingly recognized as integral to modern care, particularly in controlling hemorrhage and preserving function. Superselective embolization, percutaneous urine diversion, and fluoroscopic urethral realignment exemplify how IR provides life-saving, organ-preserving options for ureteral, bladder, and urethral trauma. Collectively, these developments underscore the expanding impact of IR across the full spectrum of urologic trauma management.
