Active Stent Based Endohyperthermia System for Inhibition of In-Stent Restenosis
EF 2016-17
Résumé
Each year 3 million stents are implanted worldwide for a variety of applications, with the main use to keep open bloodvessels that become narrowed or blocked. The stent implantation, however, often leads to a major complication known as instentrestenosis which means re-blockage of blood flow at the stented site. The objective of the proposed research is todevelop revolutionary active stent systems that enable thermal therapy of stent-implanted blood vessels for the prevention ofrestenosis. The successful research will bring a breakthrough in the therapeutic approach of circumventing the restenosisproblem in a non-invasive manner, contributing to improving the quality of life of patients who require stents.
