Abstract
Gastrointestinal stimulator implants haverecently shown promising results in helping obese patientslose weight. However, to place the implant, the patient cur-rently needs to undergo an invasive surgical procedure.We report a less invasive procedure to stimulate the stom-ach with a gastrostimulator. After attempting fully endo-scopic implantation, we more recently focused on a singleincision percutaneous procedure. In both cases, thechallenges in electronic design of the implant are largelysimilar. This article covers the work achieved to meet theseand details the in vivo validation of a gastrostimulatoraimed to be endoscopically placed and anchored to thestomach. Key Words: Obesity—Gastric electrical stim-ulation—Implanted gastric stimulator—Design andimplementation—In vivo validation.
