Abstract
An endovascular graft having one or more sensors attached to its internal and external surface, one or more power sources attached to its external surface and one or more transmitters attached to its external surface, the sensors capable of measuring pertinent parameters and each transmitter capable of transmitting signals containing pertinent parameters to one or more receiving devices located outside the patient's body. The sensors may measure pressure, temperature, blood flow, electrical potential, or any combination thereof. The sensors may be attached at specific locations on the graft material, thereby providing pertinent parameters from critical points inside the vasculature, or may be attached to form an array of sensors over the internal and external surface of the graft material, thereby providing a complete profile of pertinent parameters throughout the vasculature covered by the endovascular graft.
