Abstract
An apparatus includes an endoluminal implant, a RF coupling coil coupled to the endoluminal implant and a therapeutic transducer electrically coupled to the RF coupling coil and physically coupled to the endoluminal implant. The RF coupling coil supplies electrical power to the therapeutic transducer. The therapeutic transducer has a capability for delivering therapeutic energy to a lumen disposed within the endoluminal implant in response to signals coupled via the RF coupling coil.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method comprising:
coupling, via a magnetic signal, a signal to a therapeutic transducer contained in an endoluminal implant; and activating said therapeutic transducer in response to said magnetic signal.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein activating said therapeutic transducer includes activating a light source.Cited by (0)
