Abstract: Methods, copolymer materials and devices are provided for embolic arterial interventions (embolization therapy or embolotherapy). More particularly, radiopaque, bioresorbable spherical microparticles for embolization or vascular occlusion therapies, comprising copolymers of iodine-containing, halogenated phenyl-containing units, such as iodinated desaminotyrosine derivatives, and rubbery components, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polycaprolactone (PCL), polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO) or polytrimethylene carbonate (PTMC), are provided. The provided microbeads may further contain, or be coated with, therapeutic agents such as paclitaxel, for targeted delivery of the therapeutics.
