Plain-language summary
This was a multicenter phase IV Post-Marketing Study. The study is designed to investigate the safety of Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues used according to each site medical practice of vascular embolization. Subjects will be enrolled with the main condition that a procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues is part of their therapeutic/palliative strategy for their disease. The vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue will be administered as study procedure. According to the patient need and health status a second vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue may be considered by the investigator within the next 30 days after the first one. In this case, this procedure will be considered as a second study procedure. The per-procedure safety evaluation will be enabled by appropriate records of safety events during the time frame of the procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues. Safety evaluation will be completed with safety records within 30 +/-3 days after the embolization procedure. Efficacy evaluation will rely on the level of lesion(s) obliteration after embolization compared to the pre-procedural target level of obliteration. Exploratory descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate safety and efficacy, using both the total population and subsets of subjects with similar clinical conditions.

Inclusion criteria
. Subject scheduled for vascular embolization using embolization materials and radiopaque material other than Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues (e.g. embolizing fluids such as alcohol or sclerosant agents; particles; implants such as coils or microcoils or balloons; powdered metals such as tantalum or tungsten), whether in combination or alone,
. Subject with known contra-indications to vascular embolization (e.g. severe coagulation disorder, infectious syndrome),
. Subject for whom lesion(s) to be embolized is/are acutely bleeding,
. Subject with known contra-indication(s) to the use or with known sensitivity to Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid, to its ingredients or to drugs from a similar pharmaceutical class,
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
