Abdominal aortic aneurysms AAA , which claim the lives of 5,000 Americans annually, occur when the aortic walls are weakned to the point of bulging or rupture. Besides aorta replaceents, AAA is commonly treated with an endovascular aortic reair procedure that reinforces the aorta by inserting a stent via a eg artery. While this procedure is effective, failure of the stent ay increase the pressure of the AAA sac and cause the aorta wall o rupture. Therefore, monitoring of the pressure in the AAA sac is ritical for post surgery assessment. We present the design and abrication of a wireless passive pressure sensor for measuring the
