Pulmonary artery lead for atrial therapy

摘要

A lead including a lead body configured into a pre-formed J-shape, and a shocking electrode coupled proximate the distal end of the lead body and located distally from a bottom of the pre-formed J-shape, wherein the lead is adapted to be placed within a heart in a J-shaped configuration with the lead extending through the right ventricle and the electrode positioned within a pulmonary artery. The lead can include a distal end adapted for being passively fixated within a pulmonary artery.
