Purpose: Type 2 endoleak (T2EL) is the most common type of endoleak after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), and increases the risk of aneurysm sac rupture if it persists beyond 6 months. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of direct sac puncture versus transarterial embolization of T2ELs.
Methods: Retrospective review of 42 consecutive T2EL embolization procedures, 19 by DSP and 23 by transarterial technique, between January 2015 and December 2020.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and interobserver agreement of ccLS in diagnosing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods: This retrospective single-center study evaluated consecutive patients with solid renal masses who underwent mpMRI followed by percutaneous biopsy and/or surgical excision between January 2010 and December 2020. Predominantly (> 75%) cystic masses, masses with macroscopic fat and infiltrative masses were excluded.

Background: Epithelioid "aggressive" osteoblastoma (EOB) is a rare and more aggressive subtype of osteoblastoma (OB) with a higher recurrence rate, greater risk of malignant transformation, larger size, and greater intraoperative blood loss. The present case report illustrates that preoperative angioembolization of an EOB can be safely performed with low intraoperative blood loss.
Case Description: A 21-year-old male patient presented to our institution with a 4-month history of neck discomfort, radicular pain in the proximal right arm, and mild weakness of the right biceps and triceps muscles.
