Patent number: 8834416Abstract: Stabilizing an object in the body of a patient involves the injection of a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) material or other flowable material into the body of the patient so that the material contacts the object. The LCST material or other flowable material then forms a gel in the body such that the object is contained at least partially within the gel and thereby stabilized by the gel such that the object can then be easily fragmented within the body and/or retrieved from the body.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Ronald A. Sahatjian, Arthur Madenjian, William R. Little

Patent number: 7906125Abstract: An injectable or insertable dosage form comprising a biodisintegrable binder and an ablation agent in a concentration effective to cause tissue necrosis. The injectable dosage form is a solid or semi-solid dosage form. Due to the solid or semi-solid nature of the dosage form, retention at the site of injection or insertion is improved, thereby improving delivery efficiency of the ablation agents within the dosage form and/or reducing the nonspecific tissue damage associated with the dosage form.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2003Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Weenna Bucay-Couto, Sheng-Ping Zhong, Arthur Madenjian, Enxin Ma, Barry N. Gellman

Publication number: 20060251581Abstract: Various injectable or insertable uterine fibroid treatment formulations are provided, which comprise a uterine fibroid treatment agent in an amount effective to cause shrinkage or elimination of uterine fibroids. The injectable or insertable formulations are typically solids, semi-solids or high-viscosity fluids. Other aspects of the invention are directed to systems and methods for treatment of uterine fibroids.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Inventors: Jon McIntyre, Arthur Madenjian

Publication number: 20050064045Abstract: Sterile injectable formulations, which comprise the following: (a) a ablation agent in an amount effective to cause necrosis of tissue, and (b) a biodisintegrable viscosity adjusting agent in an amount effective to render the formulation highly viscous, (c) an optional imaging contrast agent, (d) an optional therapeutic agent, and (e) an optional liquid selected from water and an organic solvent. Also described are novel prostatic ablation formulations, which comprise a prostatic ablation agent selected from free-radical generating ablation agents, oxidizing ablation agents and tissue fixing ablation agents. Further aspects of the invention relate to methods of treating a variety of diseases and conditions, including benign prostatic hypertrophy, in which above injectable formulations are injected into the tissue of a subject, optionally with the assistance of a non-invasive imaging technique.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2003Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Sheng-Ping Zhong, Wendy Naimark, Arthur Madenjian, Weenna Bucay-Couto, Enxin Ma
