Described are polymers and methods of forming and using same.

Polymer particles

Biodegradable, cross-linked polymer particle embolics and methods of making the same are described. The particle embolics can be used as embolization agents.

Embolic particles are described. The particles are reaction products of a prepolymer solution including at least one polyether macromer and an appropriate monomer.

Particles

Liquid embolic preparations and medical treatment methods of using those preparations are described. In some embodiments, the preparations or solutions can transition from a liquid to a solid for use in the embolization. The preparations can include biocompatible polymers with covalently bound radioactive iodine isotopes.

Radioactive liquid embolic

Described are medical devices including expandable tubular bodies configured to be implanted into a lumen, wherein the outer surface of the expandable tubular bodies are coupled to a polymer(s).

Medical devices

Described herein are polymeric particles configured for intravascular delivery of pharmaceutical agents, e.g., to a diseased site, and methods of forming and using same. Preparation of these polymer particles is also described.
