ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a method is provided for improving angioplasty procedures by reducing tissue damage during the procedure comprising infusing certain ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation surface-active copolymers before, during and/or after the angioplasty procedure.
The surface-active copolymer can be an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide condensation product with the following general formula:
