    摘要: A medical electrical lead is disclosed that is adapted for placement in the coronary sinus, or a branch vein thereof. The lead includes a first and second pace/sense electrode. A selection mechanism is provided to select either the first or the second electrode for use as a cathode, with the other electrode being selected as the anode. According to another aspect of the invention, a high-voltage coil electrode may be provided between the first and second electrodes. The coil electrode may be electrically coupled to the anode to increase the shadow area of the coil electrode.

    摘要: A conductor assembly and methods for mechanically and electrically coupling a small diameter conductor to a lead component having a relatively larger sized conductor bore is provided. The assembly includes a sizing member sized to fit securely around a relatively small diameter conductor and to further fit within a conductor bore so that temporary compression (e.g., crimping, crushing, or staking) of a discrete portion of the conductor bore mechanically couples, and establishes electrical communication between, the conductor and the lead component. Alternately, a conductive sleeve member having a relatively large diameter conductor bore is adapted to receive a sizing unit to downsize one side of the sleeve member in a manner similar to the foregoing. In this case, a relatively smaller diameter one of a pair of different diameter elongated conductors is firmly mechanically coupled and in electrical communication with a relatively larger diameter conductor.

    摘要: A cardiac transvenous defibrillation lead has a continuous coil conductor within a layer of insulation. A portion of the coil conductor is exposed as a defibrillation electrode. In order to enhance fluoroscopic visualization of the exposed electrode during implant, the end of the exposed electrode is marked with a radiopaque element. The element may be in the form of an adhesive filled with radiopaque material that is used to backfill under the layer of insulation. Alternatively, a tube made of radiopaque material may be installed between the layer of insulation and the coil conductor.

The locking member may be an arcuate member joined to said sleeve base by a hinge and pivotable to latch said locking member to the sleeve base. Alternatively the locking member may be a member formed separately from the sleeve base. The base may be provided with one or more C-shaped members to temporarily retain the lead prior to latching.

    摘要: An intravascular device to assist in the visualization of intravascular lumens and the navigation of guide members, the device including two elongate coaxial tubes which define a central lumen and an annular lumen. A manifold is coupled to the proximal end of the two tubes and includes a first port connected to the central lumen and a second port in fluid communication with the annular lumen. The central lumen and the annular lumen are fluidly independent at the proximal end and are open to the vasculature at the distal end. The coaxial tubes engage each other at the distal end to limit longitudinal movement therebetween.
