ABSTRACT:
An implantable single-pass cardiac stimulation lead provides for placement of electrodes into electrical contact with two chambers of a patient's heart. The lead includes an inner lead body having at least one electrode at its distal end and an outer lead body having at least one electrode at its distal end. The outer lead body has an internal lumen that slidingly receives the inner lead body. The inner lead body is extendable from the outer lead body at a point proximal to the distal end of the outer lead body. The sliding of the inner lead body relative to the outer lead body enables the inner lead body distal electrode to have a varying distance from the outer lead body distal electrode and enables the inner lead body to extend into the coronary sinus region of the heart to place the inner lead body electrode into electrical contact with the left ventricle.
