Abstract
A prosthesis for monitoring a stenosis in the prosthesis comprises a tubular prosthesis having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a lumen extending therebetween. A sensor is coupled to the tubular prosthesis and disposed at an effective predetermined location on the tubular prosthesis so that the sensor may sense a presence of the stenosis in the lumen.
