  • Publication number: 20080233082
    Abstract: The present invention provides polymeric compositions, devices, and methods for repair of vascular injury, particularly endothelial injury and impaired vascular repair, such as from intracranial aneurysms and carotid atherosclerosis. The invention particularly provides polymers incorporating signaling factors useful for recruiting circulating vascular progenitor cells. The polymers can be used alone or as a coating for various devices for placement at sites of vascular injury to promote repair by the body's natural systems.

  • Publication number: 20060099191
    Abstract: Methods and materials for treating intracranial aneurysms with a tissue-engineered biopolymer are disclosed. A novel technique has been developed which utilizes a tissue-engineering biopolymer (TEBP) with living endothelial cells such that the endothelial cells will produce a neoendothelium across the aneurysm ostium. Alternatively, biocompatible materials can be coated onto aneurysm maintenance devices, and the cells can be seeded onto the biocompatible material.
