    摘要: A subcutaneous implantable medical device and method (SIMD) provided. A pulse generator (PG) is configured to be positioned subcutaneously within a lateral region of a chest of a patient. The PG has a housing that includes a PG electrode. The PG has an electronics module. An elongated lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The elongated lead includes a first electrode that is configured to be positioned along a first parasternal region proximate a sternum of the patient and a second electrode that is configured to be positioned at an anterior region of the patient. The first and second electrodes are coupled to be electrically common with one another. The electronics module is configured to provide electrical shocks for antiarrhythmic therapy along at least one shocking vector between the PG electrode and the first and second electrodes.

    摘要: Methods and devices include making an incision at a single site of a patient. The single site located at an anterior of a chest or abdomen. The method also includes inserting a tunneling tool through the incision at the single site and preparing a first tunnel to a subcutaneous posterior location. A path of the first tunnel at least one of i) extends over a plurality of Intercostal gaps of the chest or ii) extends along and within one of the intercostal gaps. The method also includes positioning a first lead having an electrode within the first tunnel and preparing a second tunnel to a subcutaneous parasternal location along the chest. The method also includes positioning a second lead having an electrode within the second tunnel and positioning a pulse generator within a subcutaneous pocket and operatively coupling the first and second leads to the pulse generator.

    摘要: An implantable medical lead includes a longitudinally extending body, an electrical conductor, an electrical component and a weld. The longitudinally extending body includes a distal end, a proximal end, and paddle region near the distal end. The electrical conductor extends through the body between the proximal end and the paddle region. The electrical component is on the paddle region and includes a sacrificial feature defined in a wall of the electrical component. The sacrificial feature includes a region that continues from the wall of the electrical component and a side that is isolated from the wall of the electrical component via a void defined in the wall of the electrical component. The weld is formed at least in part from at least a portion of the sacrificial feature. The weld operably couples the electrical component to the electrical conductor.

    摘要: A biostimulator transport system for transporting a biostimulator includes a sleeve having a sleeve lumen. A support member extends through the sleeve lumen, and a belt extends longitudinally through the sleeve lumen between the sleeve and the support member. The belt has a loop distal to a distal member end of the support member. A portion of a biostimulator can extend through the loop such that the belt retains the biostimulator against the support member. A method of using the biostimulator transport system includes delivering the biostimulator to a target tissue, driving the belt to rotate a pacing electrode of the biostimulator into the target tissue, and cutting the belt to release the implanted biostimulator. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
