Patent ID: 7389149

Claim:
An extra-vascular lead for use with an implantable medical device, said lead comprising: an elongated flexible lead body having a proximal end and a distal end and two conductors extending therebetween; a connector disposed on the proximal end of the lead body and adapted to electrically and mechanically attach to the implantable medical device; at least three electrodes electrically connected to the two conductors at the distal end of the leady body; a proximal connection structure adapted to anchor the lead body at a proximal location on a patient body structure; and a distal connection structure adapted to anchor the lead body to a distal location on the patient body structure; wherein the one conductor is attached to one electrode and the other conductor is attached to the other two electrodes, as part of the distal connection structure; wherein the electrodes comprise electrode coils and the two conductors comprise coiled wires and wherein a pin is inserted into adjacent ends of an electrode coil and a coiled wire to join a conductor to one or two electrodes.
