摘要： An electrical lead includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a fixation member joined to the elongate body and distally disposed from the proximal end of the elongate body, wherein the fixation member is capable of being extended from and retracted toward the elongate body. A method includes advancing an electrical lead into vasculature and extending a fixation member from the body of the electrical lead to fixedly engage the electrical lead within the vasculature. The method may further include retracting the fixation member toward the body of the electrical lead to unengage the electrical lead within the vasculature and retracting the electrical lead from the vasculature.

摘要： The present invention provides a practical, multi-polar, in-line connector system for use in connecting implantable medical devices (IMD) and associated non-standard, low profile medical electrical leads. In addition, the present invention provides a system that uses tool less, frictional, sealed, compressive electrical connections for most or all of the electrical interconnections between an IMD and a low profile lead. A protective sleeve seals the lead connector to the non-standard port to prevent intrusion of body fluids therein. In addition, optional microchip-based circuitry coupled to the sleeve enables wireless communication and remote programming for diverse IMDs. Memory associated with the circuitry can store, update and reprogram a wide variety of information relevant to the IMD, the patient, and the attending physician, among others. For example, the microchip may be used to identify the lead type and characteristics, as well as other useful data.

摘要： A guide catheter and medical lead are provided wherein the lead may be used as a pull wire to steer the guide catheter. The guide catheter is provided with a flexible distal segment and the lead is provided with a distal engaging member, which may also serve as an electrode. The distal engaging member interacts with the distal catheter end such that traction applied to the proximal lead end causes flexion of the distal segment of the catheter to advance the flexible distal segment between a non-flexed position and a flexed position, allowing the catheter to be steered around obstacles.

摘要： A loading device for loading a guide wire within a medical electrical lead that includes a navigation portion, having an outer portion, and extending from a front end to a back end, and having an opening formed at the back end. An engagement cavity receives and properly orientates the lead distal tip to align the lumen of the lead with the opening of the navigation portion during the loading of the guide wire within the lead. A first side wall is spaced from a second side wall to form a slot extending along the outer portion from the front end to the back end of the navigation portion, and the guide wire is advanced through the slot as the lead having the guide wire loaded therein is removed from the loading device.

摘要： A cardiac pacing lead for use in the coronary sinus and coronary veins. The lead is provided with a lead body configured to exhibit a curved configuration along a distal portion thereof, induced to maintain a portion of the curved configuration solely by means of a portion of a polyurethane lead body formed to display the curved configuration and wherein the lead conductor is freely mounted within the segment. The curved configuration includes first and second arcuate segments together providing a single-plane curvature of approximately 180 degrees, separated by a generally straight segment, the first segment having a greater length and greater arc of curvature than the second segment. The lead body encloses a first conductive coil coupled to an electrode mounted to the distal end of the lead body and a second elongated conductive coil is also located within the lead body and extends to a transition point proximal to the distal end of the first coil conductor, the second coil terminating within the lead body and insulated from the exterior of the lead body. The first conductive coil has a generally straight configuration and the distal portion of the second coil is formed to define a curve.

摘要： A single-pass pacing lead capable of sensing and pacing both the atria and the ventricles is described. In some examples, the single-pass pacing lead is connected to a DDD pacemaker. In some examples, the single-pass pacing lead comprises four electrodes. In some examples, the lead includes three electrodes configured to be positioned in or near an atrium, e.g., the right atrium, and one electrode configured to be positioned in or near a ventricle, e.g., the left ventricle, when the lead is implanted. In other examples, the lead includes two electrodes configured to be positioned in each of the atrium and ventricle when the lead is implanted. In some examples, one of the electrodes, which is configured to be positioned proximate the coronary sinus ostium when the lead is implanted, comprises a helical element for fixation of the lead to tissue.
