Non-Fragmenting Low Friction Bioactive Absorbable Coils For Brain Aneurysm Therapy

US Patent:
2013007, Mar 21, 2013
Filed:
Jul 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/552616
Inventors:
Benjamin M. Wu - San Marino CA, US
Fernando Vinuela - Los Angeles CA, US
Yuichi Marayama - Los Angeles CA, US
Yuhuan Xu - Santa Monica CA, US
Assignee:
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA - Oakland CA
International Classification:
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
606200
Abstract:
Non-fragmenting low friction bioactive absorbable coils are disclosed that improve long-term anatomic results in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The coils are composed of at least one biocompatible and bioabsorbable polymer. The coils are then coated with a polymer to reduce the friction. The coating can contain drugs, such as growth factors, and can be used to accelerate histopathologic transformation in aneurysms. The coil can be a polymer such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycaprolactive, poly-L-lactide, polydioxanone, polycarbonates, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid/poly-L-lactic acid copolymers, polyhydroxybutyrate/hydroxyvalerate copolymers, or combinations thereof.
