1. For implantation through a tubular structure into a biological structure, a system comprising:
- an electronic device;
an antenna electrically coupled to the electronic device, at least a portion of the antenna being a loop, the loop portion of the antenna having a uncompressed state with a measurement, Zu, along a first dimension and a compressed state with a measurement, Zc, along the first dimension.

Abstract
As described herein vascular anchoring systems are used to position an implant in a vascular area such as a bifurcated vasculature with relatively high fluid flow, for instance, in an area of a pulmonary artery with associated left and right pulmonary arteries. Implementations include an anchoring trunk member having a first anchoring trunk section and a second anchoring trunk section. Further implementations include a first anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member. Still further implementations include a second anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member.
