A lead assembly (10) adapted for endocardial fixation to a human heart is provided. The lead assembly (10) includes a lead body (12) that has a proximal end (14) provided with a connector (16) for electrical connection to a cardiac stimulator. The cardiac stimulator may be a pacemaker, a cardioverter/defibrillator, or a sensing instrument. The distal end (20) of the lead body is connected to a tubular electrode housing (22). The lead body (12) consists of a noncoiled conductor cable (24) surrounded by a coextensive insulating sleeve. In contrast to conventional leads, the lead body of the present invention does not require coiled conductor wires or an internal lumen. Manipulation of the lead body is via an external guide tube. Lead body diameters of 0.25 mm or smaller are possible.

L'invention concerne un ensemble de dérivation (10) conçu pour être placé en endocavitaire dans un coeur humain. L'ensemble de dérivation (10) comprend un corps de dérivation (12), dont l'extrémité proximale (14) comporte un connecteur (16) permettant sa connexion électrique avec un stimulateur cardiaque. Ce dernier peut être un stimulateur, un défibrillateur ou un instrument de détection. L'extrémité distale (20) du corps de dérivation est connectée à un boîtier d'électrode tubulaire (22). Le corps de dérivation (12) est constitué d'un câble conducteur non enroulé (24), entouré d'une gaine isolante coextensive. Par opposition avec les dérivations classiques, le corps de dérivation de la présente invention ne nécessite ni câbles conducteurs enroulés, ni lumière interne. Sa manipulation se fait au moyen d'un tube de guidage externe. Des diamètres de 0,25 mm ou inférieurs sont possibles.
