WAEVE System: towards the first non-invasive and cost-effective longitudinal monitoring tool of coronary stents patients suffering from coronary artery disease

The WAEVE system is a non-invasive, non-ionizing platform for vascular diagnosis and monitoring, with the most mature and market-near application being coronary stent monitoring. The technology leverages Microwave Interferometry (MWI), an advanced analytical approach focusing on the absorption and scattering of electromagnetic energy by metallic elements.

By studying the interaction of microwaves within the frequency range of 0.1 to 5 GHz with highly conductive objects like stents, this innovative device can effectively evaluate in real-time the stent structural integrity and, moreover, to examine the immediate biological environment, specifically the peri-stent area. This capability allows the real-time identification of pathological phenomena such as inflammatory edema at the vascular wall and stent obstruction or reestenosis.

By enabling objective, repeatable measurements during routine clinical encounters, WAEVE aims to contribute to earlier identification of relevant stent-related changes and more efficient use of invasive diagnostics.
