Core Tip	The various interventional radiology treatment options for hepatic hydatid cyst include puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration, standard catheterization technique, modified catheterization technique, percutaneous evacuation, and Örmeci technique. These interventions offer several advantages over traditional open surgery, including shorter hospital stays, lower complication rates, and shorter recovery times. Puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspiration and standard catheterization are primarily indicated for cystic echinococcus 1 (CE1) and CE3a cysts. Modified catheterization technique and percutaneous evacuation are primarily indicated for CE2 and CE3b cysts.
