Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in Western society. Recent technological advances have opened the opportunity of developing new and innovative smart stent devices that have advanced electrical properties that can improve diagnosis and even treatment of previously intractable conditions, such as central line access failure, atherosclerosis and reporting on vascular grafts for renal dialysis. Here we review the latest advances in the field of cardiovascular medical implants, providing a broad overview of the application of their use in the context of cardiovascular disease rather than an in-depth analysis of the current state of the art. We cover their powering, communication and the challenges faced in their fabrication. We focus specifically on those devices required to maintain vascular access such as ones used to treat arterial disease, a major source of heart attacks and strokes. We look forward to advances in these technologies in the future and their implementation to improve the human condition.
心血管疾病仍然是西方社会的主要死亡原因。最近的技术进步为开发新型创新智能支架设备提供了机会，这些设备具有先进的电气性能，可以改善以前难以治疗的疾病的诊断甚至治疗，例如中线接入失败、动脉粥样硬化以及报告用于肾透析的血管移植物。在这里，我们回顾了心血管医疗植入物领域的最新进展，提供了对其在心血管疾病背景下应用的广泛概述，而不是对当前技术现状的深入分析。我们涵盖了它们的供电、通信以及制造过程中面临的挑战。我们特别关注那些需要维持血管通道的设备，例如用于治疗动脉疾病的设备，动脉疾病是心脏病发作和中风的主要原因。我们期待未来这些技术的进步以及它们在改善人类状况方面的应用。
