ABSTRACT:
A mechanically expandable esophageal medical lead has an elongated flexible body which carries at a distal end thereof one or more electrically conducting members. The conducting members are moveable laterally with respect to the body portion of the medical lead by means of a mechanical structure contained therein. The degree and extent of mechanical movement can be controlled through manipulation of a pull wire axial movement mechanism.
