  • SCREW-IN PERICARDIAL LEADS AND SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERING SCREW-IN PERICARDIAL LEADS
    Publication number: 20190298991
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a screw-in lead implantable in the pericardium of a patient heart and a system for delivering such leads to an implantation location. The leads include a helical tip electrode and a curate body including a defibrillator coil with improved contact between the defibrillator coil and the patient heart. The delivery system includes a delivery catheter and lead receiving sheath disposed within the catheter. A fixation tine is disposed on one of the delivery catheter and the lead receiving sheath such that the delivery system may be anchored into the pericardium during fixation of the screw-in lead. In certain implementations, an implantable sleeve receives the leads to bias the defibrillator coil against the patient heart.

  • Systems and methods for controlling ventricular pacing in patients with long inter-atrial conduction delays
    Patent number: 8442634
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for use by implantable medical devices for controlling ventricular pacing. In one example, optimal atrio-ventricular and interventricular pacing delay values are determined for pacing the heart of the patient based, in part, on a measured inter-atrial conduction delay. Atrio-ventricular conduction delays are then measured within the patient. The atrio-ventricular pacing delays are compared with the measured atrio-ventricular conduction delays. If the atrio-ventricular pacing delays are less than the measured atrio-ventricular conduction delays, biventricular pacing is delivered using the atrio-ventricular pacing delay and the interventricular pacing delay.
