Abstract:Background
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting the most widely performed procedure to treat CAD. However, current stent monitoring techniques are invasive and/or ionizing. Microwave spectrometry (MWS) may provide a non-invasive, non-ionizing and cost-effective alternative capable of detecting stent-related pathologies before fatal heart failure.
