Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an effective procedure for locoregional control of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Extrahepatic collaterals of left hepatic lobe HCC via the left inferior phrenic and internal mammary arteries are well recognized.3 Super-selective TACE treatment of HCC with extrahepatic collaterals is feasible and safe.4,5 In this case, super-selective TACE via the left inferior phrenic artery was successfully performed to treat a Segment II HCC.
