Enhanced implantable antenna system and method

摘要

As described herein vascular anchoring systems are used to position an implant in a vascular area such as a bifurcated vasculature with relatively high fluid flow, for instance, in an area of a pulmonary artery with associated left and right pulmonary arteries. Implementations include an anchoring trunk member having a first anchoring trunk section and a second anchoring trunk section. Further implementations include a first anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member. Still further implementations include a second anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member.

1. For implantation through a tubular structure into a biological structure, a loop antenna comprising: a shape-set tubular p/s elastic structure forming a pseudoelastic loop structure when implanted into a patient; an electrically conductive structure at least partially filling the p/s elastic structure; and an electrical insulator coupled with the p/s elastic structure and wherein the tubular p/s elastic loop structure is compressible for implantation through the tubular structure when in an austenitic phase.
