摘要：
Described is a stimulation electrode assembly for stimulation of a vagus nerve within a carotid sheath. The stimulation electrode assembly comprises an insulating sheath and at least one energy delivery element. The insulating sheath includes a flexible sheet of electrically insulative material configured to assume a generally tubular shape to at least partially surround the carotid sheath when implanted, and having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is positionable toward the carotid sheath when implanted. The at least one energy delivery element is located on the first side of the insulating sheath and is configured to deliver energy to the vagus nerve when implanted.
