Claim:
1. A system for the transmission of in vivo arterial pressure, the system comprising: a pressure sensor configured to collect in vivo pulmonary arterial pressure data continuously at a predetermined frequency; a radio transmitter configured to transmit said in vivo pulmonary arterial pressure data to be received externally of a patient in which said system is disposed; a stent coil body proximate to said pressure sensor and configured to tissue anchor said system, said stent coil body forming an antenna; a radio power source configured to receive and store power via radio waves transmitted to said antenna; and a remote monitor of in vivo arterial pressure external to the patient configured to communicate with said radio transmitter, wherein said radio transmitter and said antenna cooperate to generate transmissions to said remote monitor.
