A method is described herein for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The method comprises inserting into an aneurysm an embolism coil coated with a polymeric coating comprising a genipin, such as genipin or a derivative thereof, thereby increasing the stability of clots within the aneurysm. According to one example, the coating is a poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is used to release genipin to crosslink fibrin clots thereby creating more stable occlusions. Increased clotting can improve segregation of the weakened portion of the blood vessel from the rest of the vasculature and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Various aspects of the present disclosure provide compositions including a water-insoluble therapeutic agent and a gallate-containing compound. Other aspects provide methods of using such compositions.

The present disclosure provides a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

A drug-loaded medical device, a preparation method therefor, a drug balloon and a method of preparing a drug coating are disclosed. The medical device or the drug balloon is provided on a surface thereof with a drug coating including a stabilizer and a drug. The stabilizer includes an amphiphilic triblock polymer with hydrophilic segments at both terminals, and the drug coating forms a nano-drug particle suspension in a water-soluble environment. In this way, the prepared nano-drug coating has high drug loading and can deliver the drug in a desirable way. In particular, when it comes into contact with water, the drug can be restored to the original nano size, almost without any particle size increase. This not only avoids the risk of embolism caused by granules, but also enables higher device safety, increased drug uptake and improved therapeutic effects.

The embodiments described herein relate to a self-positioning, quick-deployment low profile transvenous electrode system for sequentially pacing both the atrium and ventricle of the heart in the “dual chamber” mode, and methods for deploying the same.

A drug-loaded implanted medical device (10) and a preparation method therefor. The drug-loaded implanted medical device (10) comprises a device body (100), a hydrophilic coating layer (200) loaded on the device body (100), and crystalline drug particles (300) loaded on the hydrophilic coating layer (200). The hydrophilic coating layer (200) comprises a graft polymer containing a photo-crosslinked group. The medical device (10) uses a hydrophilic coating layer (200) as a carrier, effectively avoiding the risk of embolism, encouraging the crystalline drug particles to fall off, and helping to achieve a target tissue concentration. The invention can also effectively increase the anchoring effect between the carrier and the device, and reduce toxicity.
