Background We investigated the feasibility of aneurysm sac embolization using a novel self-
expanding porous shape memory polymer (SMP) device during endovascular aortic …

Preprocedural image analysis and intraprocedural techniques to fully treat infrarenal
abdominal aortic aneurysm sacs outside of the endograft with shape memory polymer (SMP) …

Objectives Porous, radiolucent, shape memory polymer is a new technology available in
discrete peripheral vascular embolization devices. Shape memory polymers can exist in two …

Background Shape memory polymers are materials that are manufactured in a certain
shape, can be stored in a temporary deformed shape, and then return to–or remember–their …

We demonstrate a new concept for endovascular embolization of nonnecked fusiform
aneurysms. A device prototype consisting of a stent augmented with expandable foam, both …

Background We are developing shape memory polymer (SMP) foam devices for embolizing
and treating cerebrovascular aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysm rupture occurs in …

Current endovascular therapies for intracranial saccular aneurysms result in high recurrence
rates due to poor tissue healing, coil compaction, and aneurysm growth. We propose …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) foam‐coated coils (FCCs) are new embolic coils coated with
porous SMP designed to expand for increased volume filling and enhanced healing after …

Intracranial saccular aneurysm treatment using endovascular embolization devices are
limited by aneurysm recurrence that can lead to aneurysm rupture. A shape memory …

The endovascular delivery of platinum alloy bare metal coils has been widely adapted to
treat intracranial aneurysms. Despite the widespread clinical use of this technique …
