Abstract:
Electrode structures for transvascular nerve stimulation combine electrodes with an electrically-insulating backing layer. The backing layer increases the electrical impedance of electrical paths through blood in a lumen of a blood vessel and consequently increases the flow of electrical current through surrounding tissues. The electrode structures may be applied to stimulate nerves such as the phrenic vagus, trigeminal, obturator or other nerves.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for stimulating a nerve in a patient, comprising:\n a plurality of electrodes supported on a flexible electrically insulating sheet, wherein at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes is configured to stimulate the nerve; and a plurality of leads arranged longitudinally along the electrically insulating sheet, each of the plurality of leads being configured to provide a stimulation signal to a corresponding one of the plurality of electrodes, wherein the electrically insulating sheet is spirally arranged so that each of the plurality of electrodes faces radially outward and not radially inward, and wherein the plurality of electrodes comprise an array of longitudinally and circumferentially spaced electrodes.
