An intelligent stent (e-stent), capable of obtaining and transmitting measurements of physiological parameters, can be a useful tool for real-time monitorization of arterial blockage without patient hospitalization. In this paper, a behavioral model of a pressure sensing-based e-stent is proposed and simulated under several restenosis conditions. Special attention has been given to the need of an accurate fault model, obtained from realistic finite-element simulations, to ensure long-term reliability; particularly for those faults whose behavior cannot be described by usual analytical models.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2013, 8765, 876508}, publisher = {SPIE Microtechnologies, Grenoble, France, 2013}, title = {Modeling of an implantable device for remote arterial pressure measurement}, author = {Miguel Díaz, José Ángel and Lechuga Solaegui, Yolanda and Mozuelos García, Román and Martínez Solórzano, María del Mar}, }
