Patent ID: 8219212

Claim:
A medical electrical lead, comprising: a proximal lead body portion having a proximal connector and extending in a distal direction from the proximal connector; a distal lead body portion extending from the proximal lead body portion and comprising: a first arcuate segment extending from the proximal lead body portion and bending in a first direction, an approximately straight segment extending from the first arcuate segment and away from the longitudinal axis of the proximal lead body portion, a second arcuate segment extending from the approximately straight segment and bending in a second generally distal direction, a third arcuate segment extending from the second arcuate segment and bending in a third generally proximal direction, which is also generally opposite the second direction, the third arcuate segment having an apex directed generally in the distal direction, a distal tip segment extending from the third arcuate segment; a first electrode positioned along the approximately straight segment of the lead body distal portion; and a second electrode coupled to the distal tip segment of the lead body distal portion.
