Abstract: An embodiment includes a process for treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) endoleak with a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam device. First, a bifurcated stent graft is placed within the aneurysm while a micro guidewire is positioned within the aneurysm for future catheter access. Second, after placing the iliac graft extension, a catheter is introduced over wire to deliver embolic foams. Third, embolic foams expand and conform to the aneurysm wall. Fourth, embolic foams create a stable thrombus to prevent endoleak formation by isolating peripheral vessels from the aneurysm volume.

Abstract: A via-filling material improves a via-filling process in manufacturing multi-layered printed circuit boards. The via-filling material is capable of undergoing UV pre-cure and thermal post-cure step. Exposed to ultraviolet light, the via-filling material filled up the two ends of the via form solid barrier films so that the inside via-filling material will not flow out during a thermal post curing process due to an lower viscosity of said material. The dual-cure treatment resolves the problems of polishing, sagging and bubbling in the via-filling process and ensures the integrity of the filling material. As a result, the via-filling material with smooth surface and a solid inside without void or hole therein formed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solventless photo-sensitive thermosetting type of material, a method for manufacturing the same, and its use; wherein said solventless photo-sensitive thermosetting type of material mainly comprises an aqueous alkaline-developable photo-sensitive resin, unsaturated monomer(s), epoxy resin(s), photo initiator(s), and is manufactured through a ring-opening condensation reaction as an initiation step, which is characterized in that a photo-sensitive monomer containing an unsaturated bond is used to replace organic solvent(s) regularly used in conventional solder mask products.
