AI Technical Summary
Existing implantable electrical leads for cardiac pacing and defibrillation often require invasive procedures that risk damage to critical tissues and vessels, and there is a need for improved methods to position leads effectively in the cardiac notch region without penetrating the pericardium.
The development of a delivery system with a distal portion that splits into multiple sub-portions and electrodes configured to generate therapeutic energy, along with a handle and insertion tips designed for minimally invasive insertion through the intercostal space, allowing precise placement without penetrating the pericardium.
Facilitates safe and effective implantation of leads in the cardiac notch region, reducing tissue damage and ensuring accurate positioning for therapeutic delivery, while maintaining the integrity of the pericardium.
