    摘要: A lead for use with an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator system is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the lead combines a right ventricular endocardial electrode, a superior vena cava electrode and one or more atrial sensing electrodes on a single catheter lead. The distal end of the lead is transvenously implanted, typically through an incision in the cephalic or subclavian vein. The proximal end of the lead is then tunneled below the fascia to the location of the pulse generator. Ventricular sensing and/or pacing electrode(s) may also be included at the distal end of the combined lead to provide ventricular intracardiac electrogram sensing and bradycardia pacing.

    摘要: A lead system for use with an implantable pacemaker/cardioverter/defibrillator. The lead system includes a securable pace/sense electrode positioned between the distal tip of the lead and the tricuspid valve. The distal tip of the lead is positioned at the apex of the right ventricle and may or may not be secured there by a second fixation means such as a screw tip or tines. The securable pace/sense electrode allows the defibrillation electrode to be accurately positioned by the patient's surgeon and maintained in intimate contact with the septum wall of the patient's heart, thereby reducing defibrillation thresholds; it provides a sense signal from the region of the His bundle or AV node, which can be used with other electrodes to distinguish between various arrhythmias; and it provides more physiologic pacing leading to greater cardiac output.

    摘要: A body implantable electrode with rate controlled drug delivery is disclosed. A body implantable lead is provided for the delivery of stimulation energy to a desired body site includes a drug dispenser carried by the lead which retains a drug to be dispensed at least adjacent the desired body stimulation site. The drug may be one which is intended to counter thrombus formation, fibrosis, inflammation or arrhythmias, for example. The drug may be in liquid or powder form retained in a reservoir carried by the lead. The reservoir is formed as a pump which controls dispensing of the drug using a fluid drawing agent such as a salt.

    摘要: A method for treating arrhythmias which includes the steps of detecting an arrhythmia, and, in response to detection of the arrhythmia, delivering electrical energy to a targeted part of myocardial tissue in such a manner as to create a transient conduction block in the targeted part of the myocardial tissue without causing permanent damage to the targeted part of the myocardial tissue. The electrical energy can be continuous or pulsed RF, or continuous or pulsed DC. The detected arrhythmia can be atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular fibrillation, or other type of arrhythmia. The targeted part of the myocardial tissue constitutes a critical part of the reentrant pathway or reentrant circuit required to sustain the detected arrhythmia. The electrical energy is preferably delivered via a catheter-based electrode which is in direct contact with the targeted part of the myocardial tissue, for either a prescribed period of time or until the arrhythmia is no longer detected (i.e., is terminated). In the former case, the prescribed period of time can be either sufficient to ensure that the arrhythmia can no longer be sustained, or sufficient to ensure that the arrhythmia is organized well enough to be terminated with additional low energy cardioversion/defibrillation therapy (such as a biphasic shock or pulse train). In a first alternative embodiment of the method of the present invention, a shock (or other form of cardioversion or defibrillation therapy) can be delivered, and then, if necessary (e.g., if it is detected that the fibrillation has not been terminated), electrical energy can be delivered to a targeted part of the myocardial tissue in order to create a transient conduction block in the targeted part of the myocardial tissue. In a second alternative embodiment of the method of the present invention, electrical energy is delivered to a targeted part of the myocardial tissue in order to create a first transient conduction block in the targeted part of the myocardial tissue, then a shock (or other form of cardioversion or defibrillation therapy) can be delivered, and then, if necessary (e.g., if it is detected that the fibrillation has not been terminated), electrical energy can again be delivered to the targeted part of the myocardial tissue in order to create a second transient conduction block in the targeted part of the myocardial tissue. The method is preferably carried out by using an automatic implantable defibrillator.

    摘要: An extractable lead and method for chronic blood contacting use. The new lead contains a hydrogel coating having a thickness increase greater than 10% when hydrated. A thick coating is used to provide a shear layer so that the coating tears during extraction, either at the coating/lead interface, between layers of the coating itself, or at the coating/tissue interface. Furthermore, because of the flexibility of such a thick coating, contracture of any fibrous capsule that may have formed is not a problem during extraction, since instead of contracting onto the lead, it contracts onto the flexible coating which can be extracted out of the tight capsule.

    摘要: A method for making a co-radial, multi-polar coiled cable lead. The method includes the steps of attaching a first end of a coated cable to a mandrel using a first end fixture. The coated cable comprises one or more cable strands, where each strand is made from one or more filaments. After the first end of the cable is attached to the mandrel, the cable is wound around the mandrel to form a coiled cable. A second end of the coiled cable is then attached to the mandrel using a second end fixture to retain the coiled cable under tension. Second stage processing is then performed on the coiled cable so that the end fixtures may be subsequently removed from the coiled cable without the coiled cable unwinding. After the second stage processing is complete, the coiled cable can be used in the manufacture of an implantable lead.
