GEL-FORMING POLYMERS FOR EMBOLIZATION

Abstract

The review is about on polymers used as embol for vascular occlusion. Existing and developed means for embolization vascular were considered. Particular attention is paid to polymers and compositions on their basis, which it is capable of forming gel structures suitable for occluding vessels.
