Abstract
To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of EASYX, a new nonadhesive precipitating liquid embolic agent based on a polyvinyl alcohol ether polymer labeled with iodine molecules, for peripheral embolization. This open-label prospective multicenter study was conducted on 50 consecutive patients treated with embolization using EASYX in 3 academic hospitals from April 2018 to July 2019. Indications for embolization were symptomatic varicocele (n = 15), type II endoleak (n = 8), acute hemorrhage (n = 16), portal vein embolization (PVE; n = 9), or angiomyolipoma (AML; n = 2). Patient characteristics, technical and clinical success rates, pain at injection, and satisfaction of the interventional radiologists were assessed. Follow-up imaging was performed using ultrasound for varicoceles (at 1 month) and computed tomography (CT) for the other indications (at 3 or 6 months). The immediate technical success rate was 98%. The clinical success rates were 100% for acute hemorrhage and type II endoleaks, 89% for PVE, 86% for varicoceles, and 50% for AMLs. Patients who underwent PVE showed significant hypertrophy of the future liver remnant at follow-up (P < .001), and 55.6% of patients proceeded to hepatectomy. The absence of artifacts o...Continue Reading
