Abstract
Novel enhanced endovascular tracing and pacing methods and systems using endovascular electrodes are described. Medial Temporal Lobe, SubCortical and Cortical sites within the posterior aspects of the brain are accessed through the Left subclavian and jugular veins into the sinus and venous systems of the brain.
Claims20
A system for direct current stimulation using endovascular electrodes, which comprises, in combination:
- an electrode or at least two electrodes being anodes and cathodes having distal tips for detecting, recording and transmitting electrical signals;
- connector wires;
- and
- an impulse current generator;
- wherein the components are all electrically connected and current flows from anode to cathode tip, within the brain at predetermined locations.
A process for endovascularly implanting at least one of an electrode and an electrode set with the brain, which comprises, in combination:
- providing an access tool set for creating an ingress and entering the Left subclavian vein with a lead wire;
- traveling distally from the access site into the Internal jugular vein in the direction of the Sigmoid sinus;
- traversing the Sigmoid sinus through to its midpoint;
- proceeding orthogonally from the rear of the brain toward the midbrain via the Straight sinus;
- passing through the Vein of Galen and emplacement within the Basal vein of the Medial Temporal Lobe of the brain.
An endovascular electrode, for endotracing comprising, in combination:
- at least a neurovascular recording lead effective for endovascular insertion/introduction proximate to the brain;
- said at least a neurovascular recording lead further comprising an introduction shaft;
- a circumferential electrode;
- a wire-electrode connector;
- a wire within the introduction shaft;
- a surface wire;
- a braided wire;
- and
- a proximal wire to an external recording device.
Endovascular wire electrodes for delivering direct current stimulation to the brain for endopacing, further comprising:
- a negative electrode (cathode);
- a positive electrode (anode);
- a cathode tip;
- an anode tip;
- a connector wire;
- an anode electrode connector lead;
- and
- a cathode electrode connector lead.
