A new implantable sensor is now providing minimally invasive internal pressure monitoring following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Surgeons at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine are leading the way in the testing of internal pressure sensors after EVAR surgery. In a new study published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery, Dr. Sharif H. Ellozy and colleagues at Mount Sinai published their successful breakthrough showing their “continuing clinical experience with the use of a permanently implantable, ultrasound-activated remote pressure transducer.” This development of remote pressure sensing technology and the successful implantation and testing of the device raises the promise of eliminating the need for an invasive measurement technique.
