Abstract: System and methods for adhering a patch of stimulation electrode(s) to blood vessels to stimulate a target site on the blood vessel are described. In one embodiment, the system includes an adhesion patch and at least one electrode. The adhesion patch includes an active adhesion mechanism that may produce an adhesive force sufficiently strong to adhere the adhesion patch to the exterior of the blood vessel and to operationally position the at least one electrode for use in electrically stimulating a target site of the blood vessel. The adhesion patch may also include a release mechanism that is configured for a user to disengage the patch from the exterior of the blood vessel without significant trauma to the blood vessel. After being released, the adhesion patch may be re-adhered to a different target site of the blood vessel and stimulate the different target site.

Abstract: Various techniques are described for replacement heart valve implantation. In one example, a system includes a specialized conduction system tissue activation potential sensing device, configured for delivery to an intracardiac region, a specialized conduction system tissue activation detector circuit, configured to detect, using the sensing device, a specialized conduction system tissue activation potential, and a processor circuit, configured to use information about the detected specialized conduction system tissue activation potential to generate a heart valve placement indication.
