Patent ID: 8551155

Claim:
A system comprising: circuitry for receiving a parameter relating to a specific patient over a network, the circuitry for receiving the parameter relating to the specific patient including: circuitry for receiving a parameter relating to a stent inventory shortage, the parameter including a pathology description of the specific patient; circuitry for receiving a patient identifier including one or more stent customization parameters comprising at least three-dimensional anatomical data of at least one blood vessel portion of the specific patient; and circuitry for receiving an inventory status parameter providing stent component information and utilizing one or more direct availability information or one or more indirect indications designating at least one of an order as an emergency status or other parameter indicating an elevated priority relating to the specific patient; and circuitry for customizing one or more attributes of at least one or more stents, each stent having different attributes of the one or more attributes as an at-least-roughly contemporaneous response to receiving the parameter relating to the specific patient by customizing a material composition of the stent responsive to the pathology description of the specific patient, the circuitry for customizing one or more attributes located at a manufacturing facility that is ex situ from a patient care facility.
