Disclosed are methods of delivering an agent to the lumen of the vas deferens under guidance of ultrasound imaging. The methods include vas-occlusive contraception in which the vas deferens is non-surgically isolated and an occlusive substance is percutaneously administered into the lumen of the vas deferens under ultrasound. Also disclosed are methods of reversal of vas-occlusive contraception and methods of delivering an agent to the lumen of the vas deferens. Also disclosed are compositions for use in the methods of the invention.

A preparation method for a non-spherical hydrogel microparticle embolic agent is provided. The method includes: alternately injecting a oil phase solution and an aqeuous phase solution into an elongated channel, the aqueous phase solution contains a water-soluble polymer to be cross-linked, the aqueous phase solution has a cross-linking reaction in the elongated channel to obtain a product, which is then discharged from the elongated channel to obtain the non-spherical hydrogel microparticle embolic agent. This preparation method is simple in process, and the non-spherical hydrogel microparticle embolic agent obtained from this method has good embolization performance.
