Claim Text:
1. A pacing lead, comprising: a lead body comprising a hollow sheath traversed from a proximal end to a distal end by a first lumen; and an extension body extending from the distal end of the lead body, the extension body having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end having an active lead region; wherein the extension is traversed from its proximal end to its distal end by a second lumen, the second lumen communicating with the first lumen of the lead body so as to receive a guide wire through said first and second lumens for the implantation of the lead; wherein the extension has an outside diameter of between 1 and 3 French (0.33 and 1 mm); wherein the extension distal end comprises on its outer surface at least one electrically isolated peripheral conductor, the peripheral conductor being electrically insulated except for at least two denuded areas on an outer surface of the conductor suitable to contact a wall of a target vein of the patient's coronary network, so as to form a network of stimulation electrodes electrically connected together in the active lead region; and wherein the lead body proximal end comprises an electrical connection for the peripheral conductor.
