ABSTRACT:
A lead having an electrode assembly has a high impedance electrode. The high impedance electrode includes a partially insulated sleeve electrode or a wire filament. The high impedance electrode includes an exposed surface of less than 1.2 mm2. One or more eluting drugs are disposed adjacent to the high impedance electrode.
