Zusammenfassung:A catheter for measuring a pressure distal of a stenosis includes a shaft including a housing in a distal portion of the shaft. A flexible printed circuit board is coupled to the housing. A pressure sensor is coupled to the flexible printed circuit board and is suspended within the housing. An aperture enables blood flow into the housing and into contact with the pressure sensor. Cette invention concerne un cathéter pour mesurer une pression distale d'une sténose, comprenant un arbre comprenant un boîtier dans une partie distale de l'arbre. Une carte de circuit imprimé flexible est couplée au boîtier. Un capteur de pression est couplé à la carte de circuit imprimé flexible et est suspendu à l'intérieur du boîtier. Une ouverture permet l'écoulement du sang dans le boîtier et en contact avec le capteur de pression.
