    摘要: A method of producing a lead which is isodiametric or nearly so over the region in which an elongated coiled electrode is located and which can optionally be manufactured starting from a single extruded tubular lead body of constant diameter and the lead so produced. Rather than molding the electrode into the surface of the lead or machining the electrode so that it is flush with the surface of the lead, the present invention instead employs an extruded, multiple lumen lead body of circular cross-section which has material cut away or otherwise removed in one or more regions spaced from one another around the lead body and extending longitudinally along the region of the lead body where the coil electrode is to be located or a lead body which is so molded. The areas in which material is removed or is absent are preferably located in regions where the lead body wall is thickest, for example between adjacent lumens. The removal of material may result in one or more elongated, generally planar surfaces spaced from one another around the circumference of the lead body or may result in elongated indentations spaced from one another around the circumference of the lead body. The removal or absence of material renders the lead body more compressible in the region the electrode is to be located.

    摘要: A guiding accessory, for use in conjunction with a guidewire and a catheter of an implant system, facilitates passage of an elongate and flexible conductor of a relatively compact therapy delivery device to an implant site, for example, within the cardiac venous system, when a therapy generator of the device is held within a distal portion of the catheter, and the catheter, device and guiding accessory are advanced along the guidewire. The guiding accessory includes a helically extending wall that forms a lumen within which the device conductor and guidewire extend. After advancing the catheter, guiding accessory and device to the implant site, the helically extending wall is unwound from around the device conductor, for removal, preferably, by pulling proximally on a tension line, which is attached to a proximal end of the wall.

    摘要: A cardiac pacing lead for pacing the atria and a method of its use. The lead is provided with a mechanism for maintaining an atrial pacing electrode adjacent stimulable tissue in a patient's superior vena cava and an additional electrode locatable in the right ventricle or elsewhere when the atrial electrode is so located. One such mechanism for maintaing the atrial electrode's position may be a lead body displaying pre-formed laterally extending curves sized to span a patient's superior vena cava, with the atrial electrode located thereon.

    摘要: An arrangement for introducing and implanting the electrode(s) of an endocardial implantable cardiac lead at a cardiac implantation site within a heart chamber or vessel. An elongated guide body formed of flexible material and extending between a guide body proximal end and a guide body distal end is advanced transvenously to position the guide body distal end in relation to the cardiac implantation site. A guide body tracking mechanism is coupled with the lead distal end for receiving and slidingly engaging the guide body to allow the cardiac lead to be advanced along the guide body until the electrode is positioned at the cardiac implantation site. Pusher mechanism formed of an elongated pusher body of flexible material extends between a pusher body proximal end and a pusher body distal end and has a cardiac lead engaging mechanism for engaging the cardiac lead at or adjacent the distal lead end. The pusher body has sufficient column strength to be advanced alongside the guide body and lead body with the cardiac lead engaging mechanism engaging and slidingly advancing the guide body tracking mechanism and the cardiac lead distally along the guide body to thereby allow the cardiac lead to be advanced along the guide body until the electrode is positioned at the cardiac implantation site. The lead body is released from the lead engaging mechanism and fixed, if the lead includes a fixation mechanism. The pusher mechanism is retracted by retraction of the pusher body.

    摘要: Various fixation techniques for implantable medical device (IMDs) are described. In one example, an assembly comprises an IMD; and a set of active fixation tines attached to the IMD. The active fixation tines in the set are deployable from a spring-loaded position in which distal ends of the active fixation tines point away from the IMD to a hooked position in which the active fixation tines bend back towards the IMD. The active fixation tines are configured to secure the IMD to a patient tissue when deployed while the distal ends of the active fixation tines are positioned adjacent to the patient tissue.
