  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED OCCLUSION OF VASCULAR DEFECTS
    Publication number: 20100063472
    Abstract: The present invention comprises compositions and methods for forming an endovascular occlusion to treat conditions such as aneurysms, arterio-venous malformations, excessive blood supply to tumors, massive vascular hemorrhaging, and other conditions which require an embolization to alleviate the condition. Embodiments of the present invention comprise compositions and methods that use calcium alginate, without or without endovascular coils or similar devices, to form occlusions at a site within the mammalian body targeted for occlusion.

  • Method for forming an endovascular occlusion
    Patent number: 6592566
    Abstract: A method for forming an endovascular occlusion by controlling the injection parameters of a purified alginate liquid and a calcium chloride solution to meet and polymerize at a target site within the vascular system. Different types of injection techniques may be used with a preferred injection technique of simultaneous bi-directional injection where the purified alginate liquid is injected through a vein and the calcium chloride solution is injected through an artery.
