Abstract

A novel process for paving or sealing the interior surface of a tissue lumen by entering the interior of the tissue lumen and applying a polymer to the interior surface of the tissue lumen. This is accomplished using a catheter which delivers the polymer to the tissue lumen. and causes it to conform to the interior surface of lumen. The polymer can be delivered to the lumen as a monomer or prepolymer solution, or as an at least partially preformed layer on an expansile member.

Claims (8)

1. A kit for paving or sealing an interior surface of a hollow organ or a tissue lumen, the kit comprising:
(a) means for entering the interior of the hollow organ or tissue lumen;
(b) a polymer material for introduction into the hollow organ or tissue lumen, and;
(c) means for reconfiguring the polymer material to form a layer of polymer material on the interior surface whereby the polymer material is in intimate and conforming contact with the tissue surface.
2. A kit for paving or sealing an interior surface of a hollow organ or a tissue lumen, the kit comprising:
(a) a catheter for entering the interior of the hollow organ or tissue lumen, the catheter having a distal end insertable into the hollow organ or tissue lumen and a proximal end adapted to remain outside of the hollow organ or tissue lumen;
(b) a polymer material for introduction into the hollow organ or tissue lumen, and;
(c) an expansile member disposed over the distal end of the catheter for reconfiguring the polymer material to form a layer of polymer material on the interior surface whereby the polymer material is in intimate and conforming contact with the tissue surface.
3. A kit according to claim 1 comprising a catheter constructed for positioning the polymer material within the organ and lumen.
4. A kit according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the polymer is a biodegradable polymer.
5. A kit according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4 wherein the polymer is in a preshaped form for application to the interior surface of the lumen or organ.
6. A kit according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 wherein the polymer material is adapted for containing a therapeutic agent.
7. A kit according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 wherein the polymer material is adapted for containing multiple polymers containing various therapeutic agents.
8. A kit according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 wherein the polymer material is adapted for containing additives capable of promoting organ regeneration.
