Abstract
A composition in the form of liquid polymer substance intended for embolization procedures was studied in in vivo experiment. The preparation was injected to rabbits into the femoral artery and abdominal aorta. The polymer composition exhibited properties previously demonstrated in vitro: strong adhesion to the vascular wall, high plasticity sufficient for embolization of the blood vessels, distal distribution, and the absence of toxic effects. The contrast substance remained in the embolus, which simplified its further localization. The agent underwent nether resorption nor organization. Injection of the agent in a volume of 0.1 ml was sufficient for embolization of an artery with a diameter of 0.1 cm. The polymer composition completely obstructed the vessel without inducing perforation of its wall. During the first day of the experiment, a slight infiltration of surrounding tissues with lymphoid cells was observed. By day 7, total dry necrosis of pelvic limb distal to the injection site was diagnosed. Inflammation of the surrounding tissues was shown histologically and was considered as the body response to impaired circulation and necrosis.
