Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de mettre en place de façon centrale un capteur (101) dans une lumière anatomique (102). Un support de capteur (103) est couplé à une ancre (100, 110) qui est introduite dans une lumière anatomique (102). Cette ancre (100, 110) est ensuite fixée à l'intérieur de la lumière anatomique (102), dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, par fixation des pieds du support (104, 111, 112, 114) de cette ancre (100, 110) à la lumière anatomique (102). Les pieds du support (104, 111, 112, 114) de cette ancre (100, 110) possèdent des excroissances (105) destinées à être fixées aux parois de la lumière anatomique (102). Le capteur (101) est mis en place au centre de la lumière (102) de façon à mesurer plus précisément les propriétés physiologiques et les paramètres biochimiques de cette lumière (102). Cette ancre (100, 110) peut être introduite pendant une procédure d'intervention ou pendant une procédure d'introduction spéciale. Ce capteur (101) peut être interrogé à distance à l'extérieur de la lumière anatomique (102) de manière périodique ou continue. Par ailleurs, ce capteur (101) peut être fourni avec un revêtement de protection de façon à le protéger d'une détérioration pendant son introduction.
