In Vivo Animal Study of a Highly Viscous N-butyl Cyanoacrylate Medical Adhesive for Intravenous Embolization.

ABSTRACT: N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) is a liquid monomer that undergoes an exothermic polymerization reaction to form a solid upon initiation with hydroxyl anions. Recently, EGpresto, a highly viscous NBCA-based adhesive, has been developed for vascular-occlusion purposes. In this study, we investigated the heat of polymerization of EGpresto and compared the results with those of a low-viscosity NBCA glue. Results show that EGpresto exhibited a lower heat of polymerization (64 ± 7 °C vs. 34 ± 1 °C). This was due to its high viscosity, which resulted in a delayed polymerization time. To investigate the efficacy and safety of EGpresto for intravenous embolization, a 14 d in vivo animal test was conducted using three pigs. Five cc of EGpresto was injected into the epigastric vein of each animal. Complete postoperative vein occlusion was confirmed at 7 and 14 d by ultrasonographic visualization. After the animals were sacrificed, the operated and unoperated veins were exposed, and the injected adhesive was found without migration. During the histology, the injected adhesive was not found in the inner or outer vein walls, and the immune reactions seemed to be the only foreign-body reaction, showing that EGpresto is a non-toxic and safe intravascular embolic agent.

Emergent Uterine Arterial Embolization Using N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate in Postpartum Hemorrhage with Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

Project description:Although it is widely accepted that uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective therapeutic strategy for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), no consensus has been reached regarding the efficacy of UAE in patients with PPH with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients treated with UAE using NBCA for PPH between 2010 and 2015. The patients were divided into DIC and non-DIC groups, according to the obstetrical DIC score and the overt DIC diagnostic criteria issued by the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), and their clinical outcomes were compared. There were 28 patients treated with UAE using NBCA. Complete hemostasis was achieved by UAE in 19 of 28 patients. In eight of nine patients with unsuccessful hemostasis, surgical hemostatic interventions were performed after UAE, and hemostasis was achieved in seven patients. UAE using NBCA showed no significant intergroup differences in complete hemostasis according to the presence or absence of DIC based on obstetrical DIC score (70% versus 62.5%, P = 1.000) or ISTH DIC score (54.5% versus 76.5%, P = 0.409). UAE using NBCA may be a useful first-choice treatment for PPH with DIC.

A ruptured splenic artery aneurysm treated by transcatheter arterial embolization using n-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamidol.

Project description:N-butyl cyanoacrylate, one of embolic materials, is usually used as a mixture with Lipiodol (N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol mixture). N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamidol was developed by adding a nonionic iodine contrast agent (Iopamiron) to N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol mixture. N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamidol has lower adhesiveness than N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol mixture and the ability to form a single large droplet. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm treated by transcatheter arterial embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamidol. He was referred to the emergency room because of sudden onset of upper abdominal pain. A diagnosis was established using contrast-enhanced computed tomography and angiography. Emergency transcatheter arterial embolization was performed, and the ruptured splenic artery aneurysm was successfully embolized using a combination of coil framing and N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamidol packing. This case demonstrates the usefulness of a combination of coil framing and N-butyl cyanoacrylate-Lipiodol-Iopamdol packing for the embolization of aneurysms.

Novel treatment of vascular injury from delayed hemodialysis catheter migration by transvenous balloon-assisted embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate.

Project description:Delayed vascular injury (DVI) with a hemodialysis catheter is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. However, the appropriate treatment for DVI has not yet been established.A 44-year-old man underwent placement of a hemodialysis catheter via the left internal jugular vein, and the first leukapheresis procedure was performed without complications. However, 3 days after the insertion of the hemodialysis catheter, the patient developed sudden dyspnea. Chest radiographs and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed that the catheter tip had migrated and was located outside the left brachiocephalic vein. DVI with catheter migration was diagnosed. To perform safe and reliable hemostasis, we successfully performed transvenous balloon-assisted tract embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate and the catheter was removed.To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of the treatment of balloon-assisted tract embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate for DVI caused by a hemodialysis catheter. Our treatment approach may be safe and effective for DVI.

n-Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (Histoacryl) vs. subcuticular sutures for skin closure of Pfannenstiel incisions following cesarean delivery.

Project description:BackgroundTissue adhesives are now routinely used for skin closure in various surgeries. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) tissue adhesive in cesarean delivery by comparing it with the safety and efficacy of subcuticular suture closure.Methods and findingsA retrospective chart review was undertaken of all patients who underwent cesarean delivery via Pfannenstiel skin incision. During the study period, a total of 209 patients had NBCA (Histoacryl®) closure and 208 patients had suture closure. Wound complications and Vancouver scar scale (VSS) scores were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in indications for cesarean deliveries or number of previous cesarean deliveries. Incidences of wound disruption and infection were also similar between the two closure groups (p = 0.322 and 0.997, respectively). The rate of wound complications was 3.4% in the NBCA group and 5.3% in the suture group. All complications healed uneventfully with topical antibiotics or closure strips. VSS scores at 6-8 weeks after operation were not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.858). These results were corroborated by propensity score-matching analysis.ConclusionsNBCA may be a useful skin closure of Pfannenstiel skin incisions after cesarean delivery.

Cholesterol-PEG comodified poly (N-butyl) cyanoacrylate nanoparticles for brain delivery: in vitro and in vivo evaluations.

Project description:This study investigated cholesterol-polyethylene glycol (PEG) comodified poly (ethyleneglycol)-poly (lactide) nanoparticles (CLS-PEG NPs) as a novel, biodegradable brain drug delivery system and included an evaluation of its in vitro and in vivo properties. To this end, coumarin-6 (C6), a fluorescent probe, was encapsulated into CLS-PEG NPs by an emulsion polymerization method. We reported that the use of CLS-PEG NPs led to a sustained drug release in vitro. Additionally, cell viability experiments confirmed their safety. The uptake and transport of CLS-PEG NPs, by bEnd.3 cells (an immortalized mouse brain endothelial cell line), was significantly higher than that of a control C6 solution. An investigation of the uptake mechanisms of different NP formulations demonstrated that cholesterol modifications may be the primary way to improve the efficiency of cellular uptake, wherein macropinocytosis may be the most important endocytic pathway in this process. An investigation of the transport mechanisms of CLS-PEG NPs also implicated macropinocytosis, energy and cholesterol in bEnd.3 cells lines. Following an intravenous (IV) administration to rats, pharmacokinetic experiments indicated that C6-loaded CLS-PEG NPs achieved sustained release for up to 12 h. In addition, IV delivery of CLS-PEG NPs appeared to significantly improve the ability of C6 to pass through the blood-brain barrier: the concentration of C6 found in the brain increased nearly 14.2-fold when C6 CLS-PEG NPs were used rather than a C6 solution. These in vitro and in vivo results strongly suggest that CLS-PEG NPs are a promising drug delivery system for targeting the brain, with low toxicity.

N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate and hypertonic glucose with 72% chromated glycerin in gastric varices.

Project description:AimTo compare n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate and a mixture of 72% chromated glycerin with hypertonic glucose solution in management of gastric varices.MethodsNinety patients with gastric varices presented to Endoscopy Unit of Ain Shams University Hospital were included. They were randomly allocated into three groups; each group included 30 patients treated with intravariceal sclerosant injections in biweekly sessions till complete obturation of gastric varices; Group I (n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Histoacryl(®)), Group II (iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Amcrylate(®)) and Group III (mixture of 72% chromated glycerin; Scleremo(®) with glucose solution 25%). All the procedures were performed electively without active bleeding. Recruited patients were followed up for 3 mo.Results26% of Scleremo group had bleeding during puncture vs 3.3% in each of the other two groups with significant difference, (P < 0.05). None of Scleremo group had needle obstruction vs 13.3% in each of the other two groups with no significant difference, (P > 0.05). Rebleeding occurred in 13.3% of Histoacryl and Amcrylate groups vs 0% in Scleremo group with no significant difference. The in hospital mortality was 6.6% in both Histoacryl and Amcrylate groups, while it was 0% in Scleremo group with no significant difference. In the first and second sessions, the amount of Scleremo needed for obturation was significantly high, while the amount of Histoacryl was significantly low. Scleremo was the less costly of the two treatments.ConclusionAll used sclerosant substances showed efficacy and success in management of gastric varices with no significant differences except in total amount, cost and bleeding during puncture.

Outcomes of Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive Application in Corneal Thinning and Perforation.

Project description:PurposeTo report the outcomes of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (CTA) application in corneal thinning and perforation.MethodsA retrospective interventional case series of 137 patients receiving CTA for corneal thinning and perforation in 140 eyes between 2001 and 2018 at a single center was reviewed. Success rate and factors associated with glue failure were analyzed.ResultsMedian age of the cohort was 63 years and 69 (50%) were women. One hundred fifteen patients (84%) had at least 1 systemic condition, 46 (34%) had autoimmune diseases. Eighty-nine eyes (64%) presented with perforation and 51 (36%) with thinning. The perforation/thinning was central/paracentral in 82 eyes (59%) and peripheral in 57 eyes (41%). Median size of perforation was 3.1 mm. Causes of perforation and thinning were microbial infection in 75 (55%), sterile melt in 49 (35%), laceration in 10, and keratoprosthesis melt in 8 eyes. Median glue retention was 58 days. Success rate of glue application (defined as intact globe without surgical intervention) was 72%, 61%, and 46% at 10, 30, and 90 days after glue application, respectively. Larger size of perforation/thinning, perforation (vs. thinning), and single glue application (vs. multiple) were correlated with higher failure rate. Systemic conditions, use of topical corticosteroid, etiologies, and location of perforation/thinning were not significantly correlated with glue failure.ConclusionsCTA application was moderately effective in stabilizing corneal perforation and thinning in the very short-term. Multiple applications are often required. Maintenance of globe integrity after glue application decreases with time and the need for surgical intervention remains high.

Aminolysis-mediated single-step surface functionalization of poly (butyl cyanoacrylate) microbubbles for ultrasound molecular imaging.

Project description:Molecular ultrasound imaging with actively targeted microbubbles (MB) proved promising in preclinical studies but its clinical translation is limited. To achieve this, it is essential that the actively targeted MB can be produced with high batch-to-batch reproducibility with a controllable and defined number of binding ligands on the surface. In this regard, poly (n-butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA)-based polymeric MB have been used for US molecular imaging, however, ligand coupling was mostly done via hydrolysis and carbodiimide chemistry, which is a multi-step procedure with poor reproducibility and low MB yield. Herein, we developed a single-step coupling procedure resulting in high MB yields with minimal batch-to-batch variation. Actively targeted PBCA-MB were generated using an aminolysis protocol, wherein amine-containing cRGD was added to the MB using lithium methoxide as a catalyst. We confirmed the successful conjugation of cRGD on the MB surface, while preserving their structure and acoustic signal. Compared to the conventional hydrolysis protocol, aminolysis resulted in higher MB yields and better reproducibility of coupling efficiency. Optical imaging revealed that under flow conditions, cRGD- and rhodamine-labelled MB, generated by aminolysis, specifically bind to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) activated endothelial cells in vitro. Furthermore, US molecular imaging demonstrated a markedly higher binding of the cRGD-MB than of control MB in TNF-α activated mouse aortas and 4T1 tumors in mice. Thus, using the aminolysis based conjugation approach, important refinements on the production of cRGD-MB could be achieved that will facilitate the production of clinical-scale formulations with excellent binding and ultrasound imaging performance.
