    Abstract: An extravascular or intravascular neural interface is disclosed comprising three C-ring portions, with at least two including an electrode, an electrode pair or an electrode array. The portions are formed of a flexible material that is configured to enable the portions to self-size to fit around or against a surface of a target vessel when the neural interface is released at a position along the target vessel. A spinal portion configured to house electrical conductors for the electrodes is connected to one or more portions. The portions may be spaced sufficient apart to permit radial expansion and contraction of a target vessel around or within which the neural interface is placed, to reduce never compression, open trench low-pressure unrestricted blood-flow, and to enhance fluid exchange with the target vessel. The portions may be arranged in a low helix angle forming at least two full turns.

    Abstract: Stents for intravascular neural stimulation are disclosed herein that at least partially contact a vessel wall. The stent comprises a scaffold extending in a longitudinal direction and having an outer perimeter that at least partially contacts the wall. A pulse generator can generate electrical signals for delivery to a nerve for intravascular neural stimulation. The scaffold has mounted thereon a first set of one or more electrodes electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The stent further comprises a second set of one or more electrodes electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The second set of electrodes is unconnected to the scaffold, i.e. not directly mounted on the scaffold. Methods of implanting a stent into a vessel using a deployment catheter are disclosed herein. The stent to be implanted comprises a pulse generator, a scaffold, and a distal set of one or more electrodes electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The distal set of electrodes is unconnected to the scaffold, i.e. not directly mounted on the scaffold. The method comprises positioning a distal end of the deployment catheter at the intravascular location, advancing the stent within the deployment catheter, further advancing the stent to expose the one or more electrodes of the distal set of one or more electrodes outside of, preferably beyond the deployment catheter, providing an electrical stimulation via the exposed electrodes, and withdrawing the stent within the deployment catheter.

    Abstract: An extravascular neural interface is disclosed containing electrodes for neurostimulation of the vessel. The devices are housed in flexible substrates, each substrate having a spinal portion for routing leads/conductors into the device for connection to the electrodes. Extending from opposite sides of the spinal portion is a self-sizing inner flap that supports and positions the electrodes to be inward facing, i.e., extravascular designs, and one more rigid outer flap. The electrodes may be flexible multifilar coil electrodes.

    Abstract: A stent for intravascular stimulation comprises a scaffold comprising first and second scaffold structures, each scaffold structure comprising at least one substantially annular portion. The stent further comprises one or more anodal electrodes formed from or electrically coupled to at least a substantially annular portion of the first scaffold structure and one or more cathodal electrodes electrically formed from or coupled to at least a substantially annular portion of the second scaffold structure. The stent further comprises an anodal lead electrically coupled to the first scaffold structure to form a conductive path from the one or more anodal electrodes to a generator and a cathodal lead electrically coupled to the second scaffold structure to form a conductive path from the one or more cathodal electrodes to the generator. The stent further comprises a sleeve of insulating material, wherein the scaffold structures are attached to or formed on the sleeve of insulating material and are separated from each other by a distance such that the first and second scaffold structures are electrically insulated from each other.
