Synthesis and characterization of bio-compatible shape memory polymers with potential applications to endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms
(2018)
Intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) are focal dilations in the brain's arteries. When left untreated, ICAs can grow to the point of rupture, accounting for 50–80% of subarachnoid hemorrhage cases. Current treatments include ...
Shape Memory Polyurethane with Porous Architectures for Potential Applications in Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment
(2019-04-05)
Conventional endovascular embolization of intracranial (or brain) aneurysms using helical detachable platinum coils can be time-consuming and occasionally requires retreatment due to incomplete coil packing. These shortcomings ...
Thermomechanical data of polyurethane shape memory polymer: Considering varying compositions
(2020-10)
This article presents data from the investigation of the thermal characteristics and mechanical behaviors of twelve different compositions of a polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP). Each of the SMP compositions has a ...
