A patent has been issued to Medtronic Inc. for systems and methods for implanting a medical electrical lead. The patent describes a subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) system that eliminates the need for transvenous leads within the heart. The system includes an implantation device with a pliable sheath and an elongate tool with a pre-biased curvature. The method involves inserting the tool through an incision into the substernal space under the sternum and advancing the implantable medical lead into the substernal space. This technology provides an alternative option for patients who are not suitable for traditional ICD systems. [Extracted from the article] |
