Patent abstract
Disclosed herein is a stent device useful for maintaining the patency of a lumen while monitoring an intraluminal characteristic. The device includes a structure having a set of extendible bands that are capable of plastic deformation to form a scaffolding having an inductance, and further includes a capacitance coupled to the set of extendible bands and responsive to the intraluminal characteristic. The capacitance and the inductance form a tank circuit after the plastic deformation of the set of extendible bands to enable wireless transmission of an indication of the intraluminal characteristic.
