ABSTRACT
Atherosclerosis is a prominent cause of coronary artery disease and broader cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Angioplasty and stenting is a common treatment, but in-stent restenosis, where the artery re-narrows, is a frequent complication. Restenosis is detected through invasive procedures and is not currently monitored frequently for patients. Here, we report an implantable vascular bioelectronic device using a newly developed miniaturized strain sensor via microneedle printing methods. A capillary-based printing system achieves high-resolution patterning of a soft, capacitive strain sensor. Ink and printing parameters are evaluated to create a fully printed sensor, while sensor design and sensing mechanism are studied to enhance sensitivity and minimize sensor size. The sensor is integrated with a wireless vascular stent, offering a biocompatible, battery-free, wireless monitoring system compatible with conventional catheterization procedures. The vascular sensing system is demonstrated in an artery model for monitoring restenosis progression. Collectively, the artery implantable bioelectronic system shows the potential for wireless, real-time monitoring of various cardiovascular diseases and stent-integrated sensing/treatments.
