Stenttaus
Stenttaus is a hypothetical class of vascular implants described in speculative literature and science fiction. The concept imagines extending traditional stents with integrated sensors, drug-delivery capabilities, and wireless communication to enable real-time monitoring of blood flow and vessel healing.
Envisioned designs typically combine a biocompatible scaffold with micro-scale sensors, a telemetry subsystem, and a mechanism
Proposed benefits include improved detection of restenosis, tailored pharmacotherapy, and enhanced post-implant surveillance. Critics point to
As a speculative concept, stenttaus has limited or no clinical testing and far from regulatory approval. It
