Abstract
A vascular graft system comprising a vascular graft and a processing unit. The vascular graft comprises at least one pressure sensing device. The processing unit is connected to the at least one pressure sensing device. The processing unit comprises a processor which is configured to (a) receive an arterial pressure pulse trace from the pressure sensor which comprises pressure pulses, (b) classify each pulse as regular or irregular and remove the irregular pulses; and (c) for at least one of the pulses calculate at lease one of PWV, SI, K and AI. There is also disclosed an associated method of processing an arterial pressure pulse trace to obtain at least one of PWV, SI, K and AI.
