Abstract
An abdominal aortic aneurysm pressure monitoring system comprising at least one pressure sensor positioned in an aneurismal sac which optionally may be excluded from direct arterial pressure by an already implanted stent graft, at least one pressure sensor positioned in an abdominal region of the body at a location outside of the aneurismal sac, a controller in communication with the pressure sensors, where a pressure gradient between the abdominal region and the aneurismal sac is determined based on the pressures communicated to the controller from the aneurismal sac and abdominal region pressure sensors.
