Abstract

See full text

A medical implant, in particular a stent for insertion in a bodily lumen, having a base structure (2, 3), wherein a passive electronic oscillating circuit configuration (4), comprising at least one inductor (L) and at least one capacitor (C1 through C4), is integrated in the base structure (2, 3), whose natural frequency (f.sub.res0) in the implanted state of the implant (1) is externally detectable by exciting the oscillating circuit configuration (4) using electromagnetic radiation such that a significant identification feature or a change of the base structure (2, 3) is detectable by the value or a change of the natural frequency (f.sub.res0) of the oscillating circuit configuration (4).
