    • An implantable device including an elastically compressible member coupled to a distal end of a lead and further coupled to at least one electrode. The compressible member is in a contracted state when the electrode is being delivered to an implant site. At the implant site, the compressible member is expanded to urge the electrode into contact with tissue. Compressible member further includes a keyed structure to engage a stiffening member such as a stylet. The stiffening member is used both to deliver the electrode to the implant site, and to rotate the compressible member, if necessary, so that the electrode contacts predetermined body tissue. According to one aspect of the invention, an introducer having an inner lumen with a diameter that is smaller than that of the compressible member may be used to disengage the stiffening member from the compressible member. In one embodiment, compressible member includes a conductor wound to form multiple turns that are aligned during electrode delivery, but which expand into a non-aligned configuration after deployment. In another embodiment, compressible member includes a spring clip that has a compressed profile during delivery, and an expanded profile after deployment.

    • An improved system and method for deploying medical electrical leads is disclosed. The system includes a guiding device such as a guidewire used to navigate the vascular system of a body. The guiding device includes a fixation member that can be deployed to maintain the guiding device at a desired location within the vascular system. The fixation member may be an inflatable device such as a balloon, or alternatively, may be an expandable device constructed of flexible fibers that has both an expanded and a contracted state. The system may further include a coupling member located adjacent to the guiding device. The coupling member may be a rail extending distally from a proximal end of the guiding device to a point proximal the fixation member. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the coupling member is a channel included in the body of the guiding device adapted to slidably engage an electrode assembly. The coupling member is adapted to allow the electrode assembly to be slid to the distal end of the coupling member and deployed at a predetermined implant site. In one embodiment of the invention, the coupling member is movable with respect to the guiding device. This allows the coupling member to be re-positioned to multiple implant sites to deploy more than one electrode while the fixation mechanism remains stationary within a patient's vascular system. According to yet another aspect of the invention, the guiding device includes a lumen to delivery fluoro visible medium.

    • An improved system and method that is capable of delivering multiple electrode assemblies to predetermined implant sites within a body is disclosed. The system includes an elongated member such as an introducer sheath. The introducer includes an elongated channel along at least a distal end portion of the introducer. The elongated channel opens to the exterior surface of the introducer through an elongated slot. One or more electrode assemblies may be retained within the elongated channel such that the leads exit the introducer via the elongated slot. The elongated introducer further includes a lumen that is in fluid communication with channel through openings, or gaps. The electrode assemblies are loaded within the channel at predetermined positions with respect to the openings. A distal end of a stiffening member such as a stylet may then be advanced within the lumen and through a selected one of the openings to engage an electrode assembly. The distal end of the stylet, along with the electrode assembly, is pushed in a distal direction within the channel until the electrode assembly exits the channel at a predetermined implant site. The stylet is then de-coupled from the electrode assembly, and the distal end is again retracted into the lumen. The distal end of the stiffening member may be re-directed into a different opening to engage a second electrode assembly. After the introducer is repositioned at a second implant site, the second electrode assembly may be deployed in a manner similar to that discussed above. The process may be repeated to deploy an array of electrodes. According to one aspect of the invention, the stylet distal end is canted to extend from the lumen of the introducer into the channel.
    • 公开了能够将多个电极组件递送到体内预定植入部位的改进的系统和方法。 该系统包括细长构件,例如导引器护套。 导引器包括沿导引器的至少远端部分的细长通道。 细长通道通过细长的槽向导引器的外表面开口。 一个或多个电极组件可以保持在细长通道内,使得引线经由细长槽离开导引器。 细长导引器还包括与通道通过开口或间隙流体连通的内腔。 电极组件相对于开口在预定位置处装载在通道内。 然后,诸如探针之类的加强构件的远端可以在内腔内并通过选定的一个开口进入以接合电极组件。 探针的远端与电极组件一起沿通道内的远端方向推动,直到电极组件在预定的植入部位离开通道。 然后将探针从电极组件脱耦合,并且远端再次缩回到内腔中。 加强构件的远端可以被重新引导到不同的开口中以接合第二电极组件。 在导引器在第二植入位置重新定位之后,第二电极组件可以以与上述相似的方式展开。 可以重复该过程以展开电极阵列。 根据本发明的一个方面,探针的远端倾斜以从导引器的内腔延伸到通道中。

    • An inflation system for pressurization and depressurization of a balloon catheter. The inflation system includes a syringe, including a syringe barrel, a plunger with expandable thread, a handle with cam, a syringe end cap, pressure gauge, flexible tubing, and connectors. The syringe is structured such that part of the syringe barrel has an internal thread which engages the expandable threads of the plunger. In the disengaged mode, the plunger slides freely within the syringe barrel allowing for rapid motion to purge, pressurize, or depressurize the inflation system. Once pressure reaches a predetermined level in the system, the cam on the handle causes the threads to automatically lock against the syringe barrel, and continued pressurization or depressurization is accomplished by the rotation of the plunger handle with respect to the syringe barrel. One advantage of the inflation system is that only one step is necessary for locking the syringe for controlled pressurization and depressurization.
    • 用于气囊导管加压和减压的充气系统。 充气系统包括注射器,包括注射器筒,具有可扩展螺纹的柱塞,具有凸轮的手柄,注射器端盖,压力计,柔性管和连接器。 注射器被构造成使得注射器筒的一部分具有接合柱塞的可膨胀螺纹的内螺纹。 在分离模式中,柱塞在注射器筒内自由滑动,允许快速运动以吹扫,加压或减压充气系统。 一旦压力在系统中达到预定水平,手柄上的凸轮就会导致螺纹自动锁定注射器筒,并且通过柱塞手柄相对于注射器筒的旋转来实现持续的加压或减压。 膨胀系统的一个优点是只需要一个步骤来锁定注射器以进行受控的加压和减压。
