Abstract
In a device (1) for the defibrillation of a heart (2) with an implantable cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator (3), the defibrillation electrode (4) is arranged on the stimulation electrode (5), with the stimulation electrode enclosing the defibrillation electrode. In order to be able to remove the defibrillation electrode without a complicated operation if a defect in the defibrillation electrode (4) occurs during use, it can be moved relative to the stimulation electrode (5) and can be retracted and replaced relative to the implanted stimulation electrode (5) from its position of use, for which the stimulation electrode (5) can be detached or separated from the cardiac pacemaker (3) or its plug (9) provided on this pacemaker.
Claims15
Device (1) for the defibrillation of a heart (2) comprising an implantable cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator (3), at least one defibrillation electrode (4) and associated counter electrode, at least one implantable stimulation electrode (5), the defibrillation electrode (4) is connected in a position of use to the stimulation electrode (5) such that a pole (6) of the defibrillation electrode (4) is arranged on an outside of the stimulation electrode (5), and the defibrillation electrode is moveable relative to the stimulation electrode (5) and is retractable from the position of use and is adapted to be exchangeable relative to the stimulation electrode (5) that remains implanted in the position of use.
