Vascular complications following solid organ transplantation may lead to graft ischemia, dysfunction or loss. Imaging approaches can provide intermittent assessments of graft perfusion, but require highly skilled practitioners and do not directly assess graft oxygenation. Existing systems for monitoring tissue oxygenation are limited by the need for wired connections, the inability to provide real-time data or operation restricted to surface tissues. Here, we present a minimally invasive system to monitor deep-tissue O that reports continuous real-time data from centimeter-scale depths in sheep and up to a 10-cm depth in ex vivo porcine tissue. The system is composed of a millimeter-sized, wireless, ultrasound-powered implantable luminescence O sensor and an external transceiver for bidirectional data transfer, enabling deep-tissue oxygenation monitoring for surgical or critical care indications.
实体器官移植后的血管并发症可能导致移植物缺血、功能障碍或丧失。影像学方法可以提供间歇性的移植物灌注评估,但需要高度熟练的从业者,并且不能直接评估移植物的氧合作用。现有的组织氧监测系统受到有线连接的需求、无法提供实时数据或操作仅限于表面组织的限制。在这里,我们提出了一种微创系统来监测深部组织 O ,该系统可以从羊的厘米级深度和长达 10 厘米的离体猪组织报告连续的实时数据。该系统由一个毫米大小的、无线的、超声供电的植入式发光 O 传感器和一个用于双向数据传输的外部收发器组成,可为手术或重症监护适应症提供深部组织氧合监测。
