ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardioversion/defibrillation lead having an elongated insulative lead body carrying a tip electrode located at its distal end and a cardioversion/defibrillation electrode located on the lead body, proximal to the tip electrode. An elongated conductor coupled to the tip electrode extends proximally within the lead body. At the proximal end of the lead body is a first connector assembly carrying a first connector and a second connector assembly carrying a second connector. An elongated, stranded or cabled conductor is coupled to the cardioversion/defibrillation electrode and to the second connector and extends uninterrupted therebetween. A cylindrical transition member is coupled to the first connector by means of a coiled conductor. A press-fit sleeve having a longitudinal lumen extending therethrough compresses the stranded or conductor between the press-fit sleeve and the transition member to provide electrical interconnection between the stranded or cabled conductor and the transition member.
