“…However, few studies have examined its use in other organs [8,9]. It was used for treatment of large intracranial aneurysms [5]; few cases of extracranial vascular lesions were treated with Onyx including treatment of type II endoleaks during EVAR (to embolize vessels that were feeding the aneurysm), for renal and celiac-mesenteric arterial aneurysms after the placing of protective balloons [7,8], pelvic arteriovenous fi stulas [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], and portal vascular anomalies [10].…”

“…The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Onyx in 2005 for the treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). It is classifi ed as a liquid, non-adhesive, non-absorbable, permanent embolic agent that can be used off -label for small and large vessels [1][2][3].…”

“…It can also be used in those cases where previous treatment has failed to occlude the aneurysm, like giant aneurysms and wide neck aneurysms [1][2][3]. While Onyx is currently only approved for the treatment of intracranial AVM, it is becoming more popular among abdominal interventional radiologists for the treatment of peripheral AVMs and abdominal aorta stent graft-related endoleaks.…”

Abstract:Purpose: The aim of our study is to verify the feasibility and the effi cacy of Onyx as embolization agent in the treatment of traumatic and non-traumatic peripheral vascular lesions. Materials and Methods: In the period between September 2006 and March 2012, we treated with Onyx 26 patients (14 males/12 females; age range, 18-85 years old; mean age, 65 years old), 11 of which with traumatic peripheral vascular lesions and 15 with non-traumatic vascular lesions (9 neoplastic hemorrhagic lesions, 3 arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and 3 aneurysms). Follow-up controls were performed with clinical examination and by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging 1, 6, and 12 months after the procedure. Results: All peripheral vascular lesions were embolized with Onyx; 3 patients with aneurysms were treated with Onyx associated with endovascular coils. Four elective and 22 emergency embolization procedures were performed. In all patients, we obtained cessation of bleeding and the complete and permanent embolization of all vascular lesions. Conclusions: Onyx is an eff ective and safe embolization agent for peripheral vascular lesions.

“…Glubran 2 acrylic glue (GEM, Viareggio, Italy) has been used in the treatment of cerebral vascular anomalies in an experimental study without major complications [10], and we have had experience using this embolic agent in patients with post-traumatic priapism [9]. We therefore chose Glubran 2 as the embolic agent.…”

“…The copolymer precipitates when coming in contact with blood due to rapid dissipation of DMSO [7]. Onyx has shown great potential in treatment of brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations as well as peripheral arteriovenous malformations [8][9][10]. It has also found increasing use in peripheral interventions such as bleeding due to iatrogenic vessel injury/pseudoaneurysm, aneurysm, malignancy/inflammation, trauma, etc.…”

Conventional embolization such as coiling of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding may be rendered impossible or unsuitable due to anatomical and technical factors. Liquid (Onyx) embolization in such situations may prove valuable and life saving, though literature on the subject, particularly of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to duodenal ulcer, is sparse. We present a technically challenging case of acutely rebleeding duodenal ulcer embolized successfully using ethylene polyvinyl alcohol polymer (Onyx).
