Leadless Pacing Device For His Bundle And Bundle Branch Pacing
Patent No. EP3697494 (titled "Leadless Pacing Device For His Bundle And Bundle Branch Pacing") was filed by Medtronic on Oct 17, 2018. The application was issued on Sep 3, 2025.
Patent Summary
A leadless pacing device (LPD) for His-bundle or bundle-branch pacing comprises an intracardiac housing, a plurality of electrodes, a sensing circuit, and an electrical pulse generator. A bundle pacing electrode, leadlessly connected to the housing, is implantable proximate to or within the patient's His bundle or bundle branch. The sensing circuit is operably coupled to the electrodes to detect atrial events (As) and/or ventricular events (Vs). The electrical pulse generator is coupled to the bundle pacing electrode and configured to generate and deliver electrical His-bundle or bundle-branch stimulation pulses (Vp) to the heart. These stimulation pulses are delivered based on the sensed As and/or Vs to facilitate cardiac conduction system pacing.
