摘要:
One embodiment of the invention comprises an intravenous medical electrical lead that includes an elongated lead body. The elongated lead body comprises a length between a proximal end and a shaped distal end, The lead body includes a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the shaped distal end. The lead body has an outer circumference with a set of electrodes circumferentially spaced apart. Each electrode includes an electrically active portion and an insulated portion at an outer circumference of the electrode. If the lead body rotates within the delivery catheter, the lead body is configured to rotate back into a position such that the electrically active portion of a set of electrodes faces myocardial tissue when exiting the guide catheter while the insulated portion of electrode are diametrically opposed to neural tissue such as the phrenic nerve.
