I work in a polymer chemistry laboratory and we have a hydrogel that is biodegradable, swells, and degrades rapidly in water. Does any know of any medical application where an embolic agent would be needed for only 20 minutes - 2 hours? Many of the uses I have found are for longer temporary occlusion, (~2-4 weeks), extremely short occlusion (5-10 min) or permanent blocking of vessels.
