    • A parameter indicative of the status of fluid flow is remotely monitored in a vessel, a natural graft, or a synthetic graft. One or more transducers are provided either in a wall of a synthetic graft or adjacent to a vessel or natural graft to monitor the parameter. A conformal array transducer or a tilted element is used to monitor fluid flow or velocity through the graft or vessel based on the effect of the fluid on ultrasonic waves produced by the transducers. The conformal array transducer comprises a plurality of elements that curve around the graft or vessel and are excited with an input signal provided by an implantable electronics circuit, producing ultrasonic waves that propagate into the fluid flowing within the graft or vessel. Transit time or Doppler measurements are made using an appropriate number of these transducer to determine either fluid flow or velocity. Various implantable electronic circuits are provided that enable a selected transducer to be driven and to receive an ultrasonic signal or a pressure signal indicative of the status of fluid flow monitored by the transducer. The implanted electronic circuit is connected to an implanted radio frequency (RF) coil. An external coil that is connected to a power supply and monitoring console is coupled to the implanted RF coil to convey power and receive data signals from the transducer that are indicative of the parameter being monitored.

    • A stent or graft stent energized from an external power source is provided with one or more sensors to sense a parameter, producing a signal that is transmitted outside a vessel in which the stent is implanted. At least a portion of a body of the stent or an insulated electrical conductor comprises a plurality of turns that serve as an RF antenna. An expandable mesh or helical coils that form the stent body may serve as the antenna or it may comprise a separate insulated conductor. The RF antenna receives energy electromagnetically coupled to the antenna from an external (or implanted) coil and conveys a data signal corresponding to the parameter sensed by the sensor(s) on the stent or stent graft to a monitor disposed outside the patient's body. In one form of the invention, a plurality of conformal array transducers are used to produce and sense ultrasonic waves that are affected by a fluid flowing through a lumen of the stent. This transducer determines fluid flow or fluid velocity. In other embodiments, one or more integrated circuit (IC) sensors are used to sense other physical or biological parameters in the proximity of the stent, producing signals that are multiplexed by an electronics circuit and transmitted to the external monitor/power supply.

    • An enhanced intraluminal flow measurement system and method is conducive for a low-power ultrasonic system that can use continuous-wave (CW) Doppler sensing and wireless RF telemetry. Applications include measurement of blood flow in situ in living organisms. Implementations include an extraluminal component located outside of a body, such as a human or animal body, containing a lumen. The extraluminal component can be wirelessly coupled via an RF magnetic field or other RF field to an implantable intraluminal component. The intraluminal component (i.e. implant) is implanted inside of the lumen of the body such as a heart or elsewhere in a vasculature (such as in a dialysis shunt). The intraluminal component can telemeter, via RF electromagnetic signals, flow data directly out of the body housing the intraluminal component to be received by the extraluminal component.
