Photomodulated Extrusion as a Localized Endovascular Hydrogel Deposition Method
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Minimally invasive endovascular embolization is used to treat a wide range of diseases in neurology, oncology, and trauma where the vascular morphologies and corresponding hemodynamics vary greatly. Current techniques based on metallic coils, flow diverters, liquid embolics, and suspended microspheres are limited in their ability to address a wide variety of vasculature and can be plagued by complications including distal migration, compaction, and inappropriate vascular remodeling. Further, these endovascular devices currently offer limited therapeutic functions beyond flow control such as drug delivery. Herein, a novel in situ microcatheter-based photomodulated extrusion approach capable of dynamically tuning the physical and morphological properties of injectable hydrogels, optimizing for local hemodynamic environment and vascular morphology, is proposed and demonstrated. A shear thinning and photoactivated poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate)-nanosilicate (PEGDA-nSi) hydrogel is used to demonstrate multiple extrusion modes which are controlled by photokinetics and device configurations. Real-time photomodulation of injected hydrogel viscosity and modulus is successfully used for embolization in various vasculatures, including high-flow large vessels and arterial-to-arterial capillary shunts. Furthermore, a generalizable therapeutic delivery platform is proposed by demonstrating a core-shell structured extrusion encapsulating doxorubicin to achieve a more sustained release compared to unencapsulated payload.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
