A Touch Probe Passively Powered Wireless Stent Antenna for Implanted Sensor Powering and Interrogation
03793
A skin-contact touch probe antenna can be used to both power and interrogate implanted stents when the stents are configured as antennas.
Smart stents are capable of wirelessly reporting the degree of restenosis, alerting the patient to the need for a hospital visit before damage due to heart attack, blood clot, or aneurysm can occur.
· No other touch probe powering or communication mechanism for smart stents exist.

Stent Detector for Locating Implanted Device
05983
University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed a low-cost detector based on electromagnetic fields (EMF), to determine the location of stents where advanced imaging is not available.
In the absence of imaging, placement of the stent can be complex and cause further damage.
This novel device has been designed to locate the stent to within 1 cm accuracy using a magnetometer attached to the stent and an external EMF source, making this solution low cost and easy to deploy.
