Treatment of Type II Endoleaks with Onyx

Superselective arterial embolisation with a liquid polyvinyl alcohol copolymer in patients with acute gastrointestinal haemorrhage

“…Complete endoleak occlusion was achieved in five out of six cases. Follow-up demonstrated decreased aneurysm diameter in all patients [23]. Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of profunda femoris artery branch aneurysms were also embolised successfully [24].…”

Treatment of Type I Endoleaks after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Usefulness of N-butyl Cyanoacrylate Embolization in Cases of Failed Secondary Endovascular Intervention

“…Nevertheless, recanalization and continued transmission of systemic pressure through the thrombus and surrounding coils are potential concerns (10). Casting of the aneurysm sac using liquid embolic material such as Onyx (Micro Therapeutics, Inc, Irvine, California) (21,22) and NBCA (19,23) can isolate the aneurysm sac from the systemic circulation and reduce the possibility of recanalization and continued transmission of systemic pressure. Several reports have been published with successful results of embolization of endoleaks using both liquid embolic materials (19,(21)(22)(23).…”

Transiliac Paraendograft Embolisation of Type 2 Endoleak: An Alternative Approach for Endoleak Management

“…glue) may be used. In general, use of a liquid embolic is essential to achieve complete filling of the endoleak nidus including the origins of the inflow and outflow vessels, without selective catheterisation of each vessel [9]. Advantages of Onyx in this context include non-adhesive properties and long solidification time; allowing for a controlled delivery and enabling the polymer to conform to irregular surfaces [10].…”
