The EASYX™ Liquid Embolic is a new injectable, precipitating polymeric agent for the obliteration of vascular spaces through direct puncture or catheter access performed under X-ray guidance. The embolic liquid is an iodinized Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polymer ether. Iodine groups are covalently grafted to the PVA polymer backbone, whereby a stable nondegradable polymer with the desired features is created. The resulting polymer is dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). EASYX™ is CE-marked since December 2016 and has been used in humans a few time for type II endoleaks, portal vein and varicocele (\<10 cases at the date of submission). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EASYX™ embolization liquid for the percutaneous treatment of vascular lesions, i.e. embolization of varicocele, type II endoleaks, portal vein before surgery, active peripheral bleeding or angiomyolipoma (AML).
