A medical system including a device head configured to be positioned in an atrium of a heart, an implantable medical device configured to be positioned within a vena cava of the heart, and a lead extending from the device head to the implantable medical device. A fixation element coupled to the device head is configured to engage tissues within the atrium. The device head includes an electrode configured to deliver therapy and/or sensing signals to tissues within the atrium using stimulation signals received from processing circuitry within the implantable medical device. The medical system may include a delivery catheter configured to allow delivery of the device head to the atrium.

Implantable medical system

Various embodiments of an electronic package and implantable medical device are disclosed. The electronic package includes a nonconductive substrate having a first major surface, a second major surface, and an opening disposed through the substrate between the first major surface and the second major surface. The package also includes a conductive layer hermetically sealed to the first major surface of the substrate and over the opening; a conductor block disposed in the opening and extending beyond the second major surface of the substrate, where the conductor block is electrically connected to the conductive layer; and an electronic device disposed adjacent to the first major surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the conductive layer. The package also includes a nonconductive cover disposed over the electronic device and the nonconductive substrate and hermetically sealed to the substrate, where the electronic device is disposed within a cavity of the cover.
