Title:

WIRELESS ENDOVASCULAR STENT-BASED ELECTRODES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/068167

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are described including a stent (20) that includes a stent body (52) that includes a generally cylindrical distal section (56), and a generally cylindrical middle section (58). The middle section includes a plurality of middle-section strut rings (60) that are flexibly interconnected to one another, by a plurality of bridges (64), such as to facilitate curving of the middle section. The distal section includes at least one distal-section strut ring (66). The stent is configured such that, when the stent body is in a radially compressed configuration, distal-section strut ring exerts an outward radial force that is greater than an outward radial force exerted by each of the middle-section strut rings. A plurality of antenna posts (46) protrude longitudinally from the distal section, and an antenna (28) disposed annularly on the antenna posts. Other applications are also described.
