A lead assembly (10) adapted for endocardial fixation to a human heart is provided. The lead assembly includes a lead body (12) that has a proximal end provided with a connector (16) for electrical connection to a cardiac stimulator (18). The cardiac stimulator may be a pacemaker, a cardioverter/defibrillator, or a sensing instrument. The distal end 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 (26). 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.

Cet ensemble conducteur (10), conçu pour une fixation endocardiaque sur un coeur humain, comprend un corps (12) de conducteur présentant une extrémité proximale pourvue d'un connecteur (16), destiné à connecter électriquement l'ensemble conducteur à un stimulateur cardiaque (18), lequel peut être un pacemaker, un défibrillateur ou un instrument de détection. L'extrémité distale du corps du conducteur est reliée à un logement d'electrode tubulaire (22). Le corps du conducteur (12) se compose d'un câble conducteur non bobiné (24), entouré d'un manchon isolant coextensif (26). Par rapport à des conducteurs classiques, le corps du conducteur de l'invention ne nécessite par plusieurs fils bobinés ni une lumière intérieure. La manipulation du corps s'effectue au moyen d'un tube guide extérieur. Des diamètres possibles du corps du conducteur sont de l'ordre de 0,25 mm, ou moins.
