Patent

CA 2633419

A medically implantable stent comprising at least one piezo-electric material may be active, such as by one or more of: delivering an anti-coagulant or other therapeutic effect to a patient in which it is implanted; powering itself; and/or sending an outbound electronic signal to a remote device. When a stent can send such an outbound signal, a physician may non-invasively ascertain the condition of the tissue near the stent.

L'invention concerne un stent médical implantable qui comprend au moins un matériau piézoélectrique et qui peut être utilisé par exemple pour administrer un anticoagulant ou un autre effet thérapeutique à un patient dans lequel il est implanté, l'alimenter en énergie et/ou envoyer un signal électronique vers un dispositif situé à distance. Lorsqu'un stent peut envoyer ce signal, un médecin peut vérifier de manière non invasive l'état du tissu voisin du stent.
