    摘要: A two-part system for securing and stabilizing a lead at a location within a patient's internal jugular vein adjacent a region of the vagus nerve to be stimulated is described. The two-part system includes a lead and a stent-like fixation member that is provided separate from the lead. The stent-like fixation member is used to secure an electrode region of the lead at a location within the internal jugular vein adjacent the vagus nerve. The stent-like fixation member urges the electrode region of the lead against the vessel walls of the internal jugular vein such that at least one electrode is oriented in a direction towards the vagus nerve. In one example, the stent-like fixation member includes a channel sized to receive and retain a portion of the lead therein.

    摘要: A system including two neurostimulation leads can be used for stimulating a select region of a nerve within a nerve bundle. For example, two leads can be used to stimulate a select region of the vagus nerve located within a patient's carotid sheath. The first neurostimulation is positioned within the carotid sheath and the second neurostimulation lead is positioned external to the carotid sheath. Each of the first and second neurostimulation leads includes at least one electrode defining an electrode array about the select region of the nerve. The electrode array, and more particularly, the different possible electrode vector combinations provided by the first and second neurostimulation leads facilitate steering of stimulation current density fields as needed or desired between the electrodes to effectively and efficiently treat a particular medical, psychiatric, or neurological disorder.

    摘要: A medical lead includes a lead body having at least one conductor extending from a proximal end of the lead body to a distal end of the lead body. The proximal end is adapted to be connected to a pulse generator, and the distal end includes a curved portion. One or more electrodes are operatively connected to the at least one conductor and coupled to the curved portion of the lead body. At least a portion of each of the one or more electrodes includes an arrangement of interconnected, spaced-apart elements that are selectively configured to allow the one or more electrodes to conform to contours of the curved portion during and after implantation of the medical lead.

    摘要: A body implantable lead for placement in a selected coronary vein includes a resilient retention structure for inhibiting displacement of the lead because of heart beat action, breathing or other body movement. The retention structure includes a plurality of resilient projections that are attached to the lead body and which are adapted to project at a predetermined acute angle to the axis of the lead body when unconstrained. Prior to being routed through the vascular system, the projections can be bonded to the lead body to provide a low profile with a biodegradable adhesive. Following exposure to body fluids, the adhesive dissolves, releasing the projections so that they can engage the walls of the vein in which the lead is disposed.

    摘要: A cardiac rhythm management system comprises a medical electrical lead, a pressure sensing element, and an implantable pulse generator. The lead is sized to be advanced through the right atrium and coronary sinus into a coronary vein adjacent to the left ventricle. The lead includes an opening intermediate its proximal and distal ends, and a lumen extending longitudinally within the body in communication with the opening. The pressure sensing element is movably disposed in lead lumen and is dimensioned to extend through the opening in the lead, and includes a flexible, elongated conductive member having a distal end, and a pressure transducer coupled to the distal end of the conductive member. The pulse generator is configured to receive cardiac rhythm signals from the electrode and fluid pressure signals from the pressure transducer.
