Abstract

A device and method for fixation of a sensor (1) in a bodily lumen, in which a sensor support (32, 34) is coupled to a fixation device, which is inserted into a bodily lumen. The fixation device is then secured within the bodily lumen, for example, by expansion or by suturing to the bodily lumen. The fixation device may be a stent (30) or a dedicated anchoring ring (42) having a sensor support (32, 34) coupled thereto. The fixation device may be inserted during an intervention procedure or during a special insertion procedure. The sensor (1) may be remotely interrogated exterior to the bodily lumen periodically or continuously. Furthermore, the sensor (1) may be provided with permanent and/or temporary protective coatings to protect it from damage.
