A Possible Cure For Aneurysms Is Polymer Foam

Foam shape memory polymers that could cure Aneurysms have been developed by researchers. The researchers funded by NIBIB in Texas A and M's bioengineering department are moving rapidly to provide a better treatment by using the unique properties of (SMPs) for this serious disorder which affects thirty thousand Americans. The group, which is led by Associate Professor Duncan Maitland, is using SMPs in a pig model of brain aneurysm to develop a minimally-invasive ...
