  • Cardiac vein lead with flexible anode and method for forming same
    Patent number: 7031777
    Abstract: A bipolar cardiac vein lead and method of assembly is provided wherein the lead includes a flexible coil anode electrode such that the lead may be advanced through a tortuous pathway. The coil electrode is coupled to a conductor using a method of assembly that minimizes or eliminates rigid components, maintaining flexibility of the distal lead end. Multi-polar cardiac vein leads may include multiple flexible coil electrodes to achieve pacing and/or sensing in the left atrium and the left ventricle or at multiple left heart sites.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2002
    Date of Patent: April 18, 2006
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas S. Hine, John L. Sommer, Wayne R. Bass, Mary M. Morris, Peter B. McIntyre, Carla C. Pfeiffer, Roger Lafond, Patricia K. Peterson
