Abstract
A composition comprising of a monomer component comprised of at least one alkyl cyanoacrylate and at least one inhibitor, and a second component comprised of a resultant aggregate structure formed from an alkyl cyanoacrylate monomer, an alkyl esterified fatty acid and an opacificant agent where said composition forms a resultant aggregate structure when said composition contacts an anionic environment. The compositions are useful for filling, occluding, partially filling or partially occluding an unfilled volume or space in a mass in an anionic environment. The composition are also useful for ablating diseased or undesired tissue by cutting off the blood supply to the tissue.
Claims5
A method of filling, occluding, or partially filling or partially occluding an unfilled volume or space in a mass in an anionic environment comprising administering with an administering device comprising a means for stabilizing fluid flow distal or proximal to said space being treated, and a means for delivering a composition to said space, said composition comprising a combination of:
- a monomer component comprised of a 2-hexyl cyanoacrylate, and at least one inhibitor agent;
- and
- a second component comprised of an alkyl cyanoacrylate polymer, an alkyl esterified fatty acid and an opacifying agent;
- wherein said composition forms a resultant aggregate structure when said composition contacts an anionic environment.
A method of filling, occluding, or partially filling or partially occluding an unfilled volume or space in a mass in an anionic environment comprising administering with an administering device comprising a temporary inflatable balloon, or like structure, and a catheter or like device, a composition comprising a combination of:
- a monomer component comprised of 2-hexyl cyanoacrylate, and at least one inhibitor agent;
- and
- a second component comprised of an alkyl cyanoacrylate polymer, an alkyl esterified fatty acid and an opacifying agent;
- wherein said composition forms a resultant aggregate structure when said composition contacts an anionic environment.
A method of filling, occluding, or partially filling or partially occluding an unfilled volume or space in a mass in an anionic environment comprising administering with a first device comprising a temporary inflatable balloon, or like structure, and a second device comprising a catheter or like device, a composition comprising a combination of:
- a monomer component comprised of 2-hexyl cyanoacrylate, and at least one inhibitor agent;
- and
- a second component comprised of an alkyl cyanoacrylate polymer, an alkyl esterified fatty acid and an opacifying agent;
- wherein said composition forms a resultant aggregate structure when said composition contacts an anionic environment.
