Publication number: 20210370073Abstract: A cardiac pacing system having a pulse generator for generating therapeutic electric pulses, a lead electrically coupled with the pulse generator having an electrode, a first sensor configured to monitor a physiological characteristic of a patient, a second sensor configured to monitor a second physiological characteristic of a patient and a controller. The controller can determine a pacing vector based on variables including a signal received from the second sensor, and cause the pulse generator to deliver the therapeutic electrical pulses according to the determined pacing vector. The controller can also modify pacing characteristics based on variables including a signal received from the second sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: AtaCor Medical, Inc.Inventors: Rick Sanghera, Alan Marcovecchio, Sean P.

Publication number: 20210113295Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for delivering stimulating energy with a lead having a directional defibrillation electrode are disclosed. The lead includes a directional defibrillation electrode configured for implantation on or near the inner surface of a rib or the inner surface of the innermost intercostal muscle and having an electrically active portion configured to emanate stimulating energy from an exposed portion of the directional defibrillation electrode toward the pericardium and the heart. The lead also has an electrically insulating portion around at least part of the circumference of the lead. The electrically insulating portion is configured to insulate surrounding muscle and/or tissue from the stimulating energy when the lead is implanted in the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: AtaCor Medical, Inc.Inventors: Rick Sanghera, Alan Marcovecchio, Sean P.

Publication number: 20200398044Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices to facilitate insertion of certain leads with electrode(s) into patients are described. Leads can be implanted to work in conjunction with a cardiac pacemaker or cardiac defibrillator. A lead for cardiac therapy may be inserted into an intercostal space associated with the cardiac notch of a patient. Devices for delivery may include, for example, a delivery system coupled with an electrical lead and having a handle, a component advancer and insertion tips. The handle is configured to be actuated by an operator and the component advancer is configured to advance an electrical lead into the patient. The insertion tips can be configured to close around the electrical lead within the component advancer, to push through biological tissue, and to open to enable the lead to advance into the patient. The electrical lead can also be maintained in a particular orientation during the advancement into the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventors: Rick SANGHERA, Matthew ROLLINS, John BECK, William BORN, Shahn SAGE, Alan MARCOVECCHIO
