ABSTRACT:
A defibrillation electrode, especially for implantation at an intravascular site in a patient, has a flexible electrode cable containing at least one elongate, electrically insulated conductor with an electrode head disposed at a distal end of the electrode cable, and having at least one defibrillation surface for delivering defibrillation pulses to the patient's heart. The electrode head is constructed so as to be radially expandable and, in an expanded position, defines the contours (surface configuration) of a hollow body so as to provide a defibrillation electrode which is affixable to the vessel in which it is sited, and which has a minimal impact on the flow of blood in that blood vessel.
