Multipolar endovascular lead for coronary venous network implantation
The patent US12042650B2 describes a specialized lead designed for implantation within the coronary venous network. This lead features a body that extends from a proximal end to a bifurcation at its distal end, where it divides into two branches. The first branch includes a set of electrodes positioned on its outer surface and a guiding element with an opening at its distal end. The second branch also contains a set of electrodes, an opening at its proximal end, and a hollow sleeve that forms a guiding element with an internal lumen. Both guiding elements are engineered to accommodate an implantation guide-wire, facilitating its movement in an axial direction parallel to the lead body’s main axis.
Further claims detail the structural components of the lead, including the formation of the lead body as a hollow sheath and the potential use of microcables for the branches. The bifurcation is described as having a flexible bridge connecting the two branches, and the electrodes are electrically distinct, linked to a connector at the proximal end for connection to a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator. Additional features include the option for openings to have shutters for sealing, the inclusion of insulated wires to maintain an open lumen, and variations in the lengths of the branches. The design aims to enhance the lead's functionality and adaptability for cardiac applications, with specific dimensions and configurations outlined to optimize its use in medical procedures.
