Embolic agents, such as microparticles, microspheres or beads used in current embolotherapy are mostly radiolucent, which means the agents are invisible under X-ray imaging during and after the process of embolization, and the fate of these particles cannot be precisely assessed. In this research, a radiopaque embolic agent was developed by encapsulating lipiodol in polyvinyl alcohol. The lipiodol-containing polyvinyl alcohol microcapsules (LPMs) were characterized and evaluated for their morphology, size distribution, lipiodol content, lipiodol release, elasticity, and deliverability through catheter.

Objectives: To assess the effect of a new polymer in embolization of endoleaks using an animal model.
Methods: A modified aortic stent-graft was placed in 20 pigs. Embolization was performed at the time of graft insertion with non-cytotoxic n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate-metacryloxysulpholane and lipiodol (0.

This study was designed to demonstrate that progressive inflation of an expansion prosthesis placed under the epigastric pedicle of the rat induced the formation of vascular connections between this vessel and the periprosthetic membrane. 17 Wistar rats were operated under general anaesthesia. The 7 cc prosthesis was implanted into the inguinal fold and the valve was placed in a dorsal position via limited incisions.

Oily contrast medium ("Lipiodol" ultra-fluid) was found in the liver in seven cases, five of whom had carcinoma of the cervix uteri. Hepatic oil embolism was not encountered in patients with lymphomas in this series.
