Vorrichtung zum Beeinflussen von Zellproliferationsmechanismen in Gefässen des menschlichen oder tierischen Körpers

摘要

The system has an excitation unit (5) to give stimulation currents in a zone of the blood vessel (3). The frequency and/or modulation frequency of the stimulation currents lies at the frequency zone which affects the dumping of secondary messenger materials in the vessel cells. An implant (2) e.g. a stent is fitted into the blood vessel at the treatment site, where the stimulation energy is coupled by induction. The stent can have an antenna to receive the stimulation energy as electromagnetic oscillations, which are focused at the stent. An Independent claim is included for a stent for implantation into a blood vessel.
