Abstract

Several vascular embolization materials are commonly used in clinical practice, however, having application defects of varying degrees, such as poor intraoperative imaging and easy recanalization of embolized blood vessels, they are challenging for application during Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Thus, an intraoperative visible vascular embolization material with good embolization effect and biocompatibility can improve transcatheter arterial embolization clinical efficacy to some extent. Our study aimed to synthesize a novel vascular embolization material that can achieve complete embolization of arterial trunks and peripheral vessels, namely poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide)-co-acrylic acid nanogel (NIPAM-co-AA). Iohexol 200 mg/mL was co-assembled with 7 wt% NIPAM-co-AA nanogel to create an intelligent thermosensitive radiopaque nanogel (INCA), which achieves a good intraoperative imaging effect and is convenient for transcatheter arterial bolus injection due to its good fluidity and temperature-sensitive sol-gel phase transition. The normal rabbit kidney embolism model further confirmed that INCA could effectively use Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to achieve intraoperative imaging, and real-time monitoring of the embolization process could avoid mis-embolization and leakage. Meanwhile, in a 42-day study, INCA demonstrated an excellent embolization effect on the right renal artery of New Zealand white rabbits, with no vascular recanalization and ischemic necrosis and calcification remaining. As a result, this radiopaque thermosensitive nanogel has the potential to be an intelligent thermosensitive medical vascular embolization material, providing dual benefits in TAE intraoperative imaging and long-term postoperative embolization while effectively addressing the shortcomings and challenges of commonly used clinical vascular embolization agents.
