Introduction: Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a well-established treatment option for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas. In cases where the internal iliac artery, from which the uterine artery normally originates, is ligated, blood flow to the uterus can be preserved through various collateral vessels. Here, we report a case of a 44-year-old patient who underwent UAE via collateral branches of the right lumbar artery due to a history of kidney transplantation. Conclusion: We present a case in which collateral circulation was recruited during UAE in a patient with absent unilateral internal iliac artery flow due to prior kidney transplantation.
