ABSTRACT:
A myocardial lead having a tissue stimulating electrode attached via an insulated conductor to an epicardial pad the electrode embedded in the myocardial tissue of either the ventricles or the atria, for use as a pacing and/or sensing electrode. The myocardial electrode is configured to be pulled into position with a suture needle and thread. The myocardial electrode of the lead is designed to be highly reliable, to reduce exit block and fibrotic tissue growth, and to be utilized for extended periods even though designed to be implanted within the relatively thin myocardial muscle of a pediatric patient.
