    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Medical Imaging Technology
    • Catheter Technology

    Background:

    • A previously reported catheter utilized a 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) liquid to solidify and maintain the shape of a released balloon.
    • The non-radiopaque nature of HEMA prevented visualization of the balloon's position and size using X-ray imaging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a radiopaque, solidifying liquid for catheter balloons.
    • To enhance the visibility and controllability of balloon deployment during X-ray guided procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Preparation of a solidifying liquid by mixing 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) with radiopaque contrast media.
    • Tested contrast media included metrizamide, sodium iothalamate, and meglumine sodium iodamide.

    Main Results:

    • The HEMA-contrast medium mixtures were successfully prepared and demonstrated radiopacity.
    • The addition of contrast media allowed for visualization of the balloon under X-ray.
    • The modified solidifying liquids offered improved control during injection.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiopaque HEMA-contrast medium mixtures are effective for solidifying and visualizing catheter balloons.
    • This advancement improves the safety and precision of catheter-based interventions requiring balloon deployment.
