Inherently radiopaque bioresorbable polymers for multiple uses

An inherently radiopaque, biocompatible, bioresorbable polymer, wherein said polymer comprises one or more recurring units of the Formula (I):

• wherein:
• X1 and X2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of Br and I;
• y1 and y2 are each independently zero or an integer in the range of 1 to 4, with the proviso that the sum of y1 and y2 is at least 1;
• R1is
• R13 and R14 are each independently selected from the group consisting of —CH═CH—, —(CH2)c—, —(CHJ1)—, —CHJ2—CHJ3—,—CH═CH—(CHJ1)—, and (CH2)c—(CHJ1)—;
• c is zero or an integer in the range of 1 to 8;
• J1, J2, and J3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, Br, I, —NH—Q2 and —C(═Z8)—OQ3;
• Q1, Q2 and Q3 are each independently H or a non-crystallizable group comprising from about 1 to about 30 carbons;
• Z7 and Z8 are each independetly O or S;
• A1 is selected from the group consisting of
• R5 is selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C30 alkyl, and C1-C30 heteroalkyl.
