Disclosed are novel compositions for embolizing blood vessels which are particularly suited for treating vascular lesions via catheter delivery.

High viscosity embolizing compositions

Disclosed are novel compositions for embolizing blood vessels which are particularly suited for treating vascular lesions via catheter deliver.

Disclosed are novel methods for embolizing blood vessels comprising delivering, via a catheter, an embolic composition comprising a biocompatible polymer, a biocompatible water insoluble contrast agent, and a biocompatible solvent. In one embodiment, the method is conducted during a single surgical procedure whereby a flow-arresting device is positioned and activated at the vascular site to be embolized, the embolic composition is injected, and the flow-arresting device is deactivated. In another embodiment, the method is conducted during a single surgical procedure whereby two embolic compositions, situated adjacent to one another, are injected at the vascular site to be embolized.
