Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods deliver implantable medical devices for ventricular-from-atrial (VfA) cardiac therapy. A VfA device may be implanted in the right atrium (RA) with an electrode extending from the right atrium into the left ventricular myocardium. A flexible leed, or another probe, may be advanced to the potential implantation site and used to identify a precise location for implantation of a medical device, such as an electrode, leadlet, lead, or intracardiac device. Some methods may include locating a potential implantation site in the triangle of Koch region in the right atrium of a patient's heart; attaching a fixation sheath to the right-atrial endocardium in the potential implantation site; and implanting the medical device over a guide wire at the potential implantation site. An implantable medical device may include an intracardiac housing and a leadlet, which may be delivered by these methods.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a passageway through tissue includes a dilator mounted to a shaft, wherein the dilator includes a first portion, which has an increasing taper from a first outer diameter to a larger second outer diameter, and a second portion, which has a decreasing taper from the first portion to a distal end of the dilator, and which includes an external non-cutting thread formed along the decreasing taper. Lumens of the dilator and shaft provide a conduit for means to pierce through the tissue, for example, an elongate wire that includes a piercing tip. In some cases, the dilator first portion is expandable to, and contractible from, the larger second outer diameter, wherein the apparatus may include a spreading member configured to slide between the shaft and the first portion. The apparatus may be included in a system with an introducer sheath.

Abstract: A medical system includes an implantable medical device configured to be positioned within an atrium of a heart. The implantable medical device includes a housing carrying a return electrode, a first leadlet, a second leadlet, and a fixation device. The medical system may be configured to deliver a variety of therapies, including one or more of ventricle-from-atrium cardiac therapy (“VfA therapy”), left bundle branch pacing therapy (“LBB therapy”), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (“CRT”).

Abstract: A guide wire system configured to guide a medical device (e.g., a medical lead) to a target area within a patient. The guide wire system may be configured to penetrate and pass through a tissue wall in the patient to guide the medical device to the target area. The guide wire system includes a support section configured to expand to substantially maintain a position relative to the tissue wall. The guide wire system includes a pull wire configured to cause the support portion to expand. The expanded support section may provide counter-traction to a distal force on the tissue wall exerted by a medical device during, for example, fixation of the medical device to the target area, or other stages of an implantation. The support section is configured to re-establish an initial configuration for proximal withdrawal from the tissue wall.

Abstract: A system includes an implantable medical device (IMD) and processing circuitry. The IMD includes sensing circuitry configured to sense cardiac electrical signals of a patient, and therapy delivery circuitry configured to deliver demand cardiac pacing to a heart of the patient based on the cardiac electrical signals. The processing circuitry is configured to: determine, for each of a plurality of time units, based on the cardiac electrical signals and the delivery of demand cardiac pacing during the time units, a plurality of metrics indicative of a need for continued delivery of demand cardiac pacing to the heart of the patient. The plurality of metrics includes a metric associated with a duration of one or more pacing episodes during the time unit. The processing circuitry is further configured to generate a graphical representation of the plurality of metrics of the plurality of time units for presentation to a user.

Abstract: 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.
