A system and method that minimizes plaque accumulation on a stent and
thereby restenosis that could require a subsequent invasive medical
procedure following implantation of the stent in a patient. A plurality
of electrically-powered, biocompatible devices, implantable via
injection, are positioned within the patient proximate to the stent and
under control of a externally-placed controller are commanded to emit
ultrasonic waves corresponding to the mechanical resonance of the stent.
By controlling the frequency and the relative phases of the ultrasonic
waves, the accumulation of plaque on the stent can thus be minimized.
