An implantable passive fixation lead is disclosed. The passive fixation lead comprises an elongate lead body having at least one elongate conductive element. The lead body includes a proximal end and a distal end. A support member has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is coupled to the distal end of the lead body. A linking material is coupled to the first surface of the support member. A bioadhesive material is coupled to the linking material. A removable cover is placed over the bioadhesive material.

Certain aspects of the disclosure pertain to methods and apparatus for providing positive fixation of medical components to a portion of incised pericardial tissue. Accordingly, a resilient member protrudes through an incision in the pericardium and produces a positive biasing force to adjacent pericardial tissue against a side surface of an attached body structure. The resilient member can optionally be compressed during implantation and then relaxed to thereafter provide the positive biasing force. Diverse medical components can thus be safely and reliably chronically deployed into the pericardial space, including without limitation, cardiac sensing/pacing, defibrillation and/or cardioversion electrodes, mechanical and/or metabolic sensors and the like. More than one body structure can be linked to a single medical electrical lead and the medical components can couple within and/or upon a portion of the body structure, the resilient member, and the lead in myriad configurations.

An volume of a patient can be mapped with a system operable to identify a plurality of locations and save a plurality of locations of a mapping instrument. The mapping instrument can include one or more electrodes that can sense a voltage that can be correlated to a three dimensional location of the electrode at the time of the sensing or measurement. Therefore, a map of a volume can be determined based upon the sensing of the plurality of points without the use of other imaging devices. An implantable medical device can then be navigated relative to the mapping data.

摘要:
The invention is directed to medical lead designs that facilitate implantation of the leads through tissue. For example, the leads can implanted though tissue for placement of distal tips of the leads in locations on the opposing side of the tissue. The leads include fixation elements, such as flexible tines, that facilitate fixation to the tissue. The fixation elements can protrude from lead at a location more than 5 millimeters from the distal-tip of the lead such that when the distal tip has passed through the tissue, the fixation elements anchor in the tissue.
