INTRAVASCULAR ELECTRODE LEAD AND INTRAVASCULAR STIMULATION DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention refers to an intravascular electrode lead and an intravascular stimulation device including the same. The intravascular electrode lead comprises an electrode shaft; a plurality of filaments being made of a conductive, non-biodegradable material, running in longitudinal direction within the electrode shaft and protruding distally beyond a distal end of the electrode shaft, each filament terminating in at least one electrically active area; and a support member being arranged distally from the distal end of the electrode shaft and being dilatable from a compressed state to an radially expanded state, wherein the support member is attached to the filaments and made of a biodegradable material.
