ABSTRACT:
A lead body of a medical electrical lead includes a distal end, a first elongated insulated conductor extending toward the distal end and a first electrode coupled to the conductor. A second elongated insulated conductor includes a first portion extending within the lead body to the distal end and a second portion extending distally from the distal end of the lead body where it is terminated by a tissue anchor on which a second electrode is mounted; the tissue anchor includes a surface for receiving a push force from an insertion tool, which is adapted to insert the anchor within a segment of tissue such that the first electrode of the lead body is in close proximity to the segment of tissue.
