LEAD FOR STIMULATING THE BARORECEPTORS IN THE PULMONARY ARTERY

摘要

An apparatus includes a flexible lead body, an electrode coupled to the lead body, and an implantable pulse generator electrically coupled to the electrode. The implantable pulse generator is adapted to deliver a baroreflex stimulation signal to a baroreceptor in the pulmonary artery via the electrode. The apparatus includes means for passively fixating the electrode within the pulmonary artery.
