This paper reports a novel shape memory alloy (SMA) nitinol type active stent for non-invasive restenosis treatment, which operates using a radiofrequency (RF) electro-thermo-mechanical actuation technique for wireless revascularization. The developed stent is equipped with a capacitive pressure sen...
