摘要：
Side-chain crystallizable (SCC) polymers are useful in various medicalapplications. In certain applications, heavy atom containing side-chaincrystallizable polymers (HACSCCPs) are particularly useful. An example of aHACSCCP is a polymer that comprises a main chain, a plurality ofcrystallizable side chains, and a plurality of heavy atoms attached to thepolymer. In certain configurations, the heavy atoms are present in an amountthat is effective to render the polymer radiopaque. A polymeric material thatincludes an HACSCCP may be fabricated into a medical device useful for atleast partially occluding a body cavity. For example, such a medical devicemay be an embolotherapy product. A polymeric material that includes a SCCpolymer may also be fabricated into other medical devices, such as stents.
