cells in complex 3D tissue microenvironments.
These delivery applications can all be performed using ultrasound techniques already employed in hospitals, which will
enable the rapid translation of this technology for precision
healthcare.

Smart Stent Detects
Narrowing of Arteries
The stent monitors even subtle changes in

or every three individuals who have had a stent implanted
to keep clogged arteries open and prevent a heart attack, at
least one will experience restenosis - the renewed narrowing
of the artery due to plaque buildup or scarring - which can
lead to additional complications.
A type of " smart stent " was developed that monitors even
subtle changes in the flow of blood through the artery, detecting the narrowing in its earliest stages and making early diagnosis and treatment possible. A stent was modified to function
as a miniature antenna and a micro-sensor was added that continuously tracks blood flow. The data can then be sent wirelessly to an external reader, providing constantly updated information on the artery's condition.
The device uses medical-grade stainless steel and looks similar to most commercial stents. The angioplasty-ready smart
stent can be implanted using current medical procedures
without modifications.
