An Implantable Intravascular Pressure Sensor for a Ventricular Assist Device

An Implantable Intravascular Pressure Sensor for a Ventricular Assist Device

The aim of this study is to investigate the intravascular application of a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensor to directly measure the hemodynamic characteristics of a ventricular assist device (VAD). A bio- and hemo-compatible packaging strategy is implemented, based on a ceramic...
