    Abstract: Methods and devices for implanting an electrode near a nerve covered by a tissue layer or layers. Methods can include cutting through a tissue layer covering the nerve to form at least two exposed pleural tissue layer edges. The nerve can be freed from any tissue around the nerve and the electrode placed around the nerve. The pleura edges can be drawn toward each other to cover the nerve and the edges secured together. Some methods form two tissue flaps which are pulled away from each other to expose the nerve. Other methods form a single tissue flap which extends over the nerve and is pulled back to expose the nerve. The now covered nerve is protected against movement of tissues near the now covered nerve. Such methods find one use in placing electrodes near the splanchnic nerves in the thoracic cavity, where the lung and diaphragm may contact an exposed electrode.

    Abstract: A device and method for accessing a pericardial space of the heart includes a shaft having a cavity at a distal end, a suction lumen terminating in a distal port within the cavity and a hollow needle having a distal tip extending into the cavity. The cavity may be a recess in the shaft into which the distal tip of the needle fixedly protrudes. In other embodiments, the cavity is formed by an inflatable member positioned at the distal end of the shaft and the needle is slidable relative to the shaft. Suction is applied at the cavity to draw a pericardial bleb. The needle pierces the pericardial bleb for accessing the pericardial space and also facilitates delivery of payloads into the pericardial space.

    Abstract: The present invention is a myocardial lead attachment system for securing a lead within the myocardium. The attachment system includes an anchor configured to engage the heart, a tether coupled to the anchor and a lead body. The lead body has a proximal end, a distal end, a lumen for accepting the tether and a lock housing in the lumen. A lock structure is on the tether and mates with the lock housing and restrains motion of the lead with respect to the tether in either of a proximal or a distal direction.

    Abstract: Nerve cuff electrodes and methods using nerve cuffs. Nerve cuff electrodes are provided which can include a tubular body having a longitudinal slit and a flap curled over the slit. The tubular body interior can have a central cathode formed of two opposed and electrically coupled plates disposed between two anodes each formed of two opposed and electrically coupled plates. The tube interior region opposite the slit can be free of electrode material, such that the flexibility of the polymeric tube significantly determines the flexibility and strength of tube opening and closing. Some cuffs include a hinge region having a non-linear effective spring constant which can be higher at low cuff openings and lower at large opening to provide an effective yet non-damaging closing force over a wide range of cuff openings. In use, the tube body can be pulled apart using attached suture loops, with one loop and flap pulled under the nerve followed by part of the tubular body. The tubular body can be closed over the nerve and the flap closed over the tube slit. The nerve cuff can be placed minimally invasively over the nerve and used for neuromodulation and/or sensing purposes.
