An implantable medical lead (1) comprises an insulating tubing (41) with a channel (42) housing a conductor (72) electrically connected to a shaft (60) present in a lumen (51) of a bearing (50). The shaft (60) is also connected to a fixation helix (22) present in a lumen (23) of a lead header (21). A clot-inducing structure (80, 82, 84, 86) of a thrombogenic material is present in a distal portion (44) of the channel (42) and/or in the lumen (51) of the bearing (50) to trigger formation of a clot when blood enters the implantable medical lead (1) and thereby inhibit blood from entering further into the channel (42). |
