Devices and methods of use for introduction and implantation of an electrode as part of a minimally invasive technique. A system includes an introducer tool including a dilator portion, a carrier portion and a release mechanism, the dilator portion selectively engageable with the carrier portion. The system further includes a lead including a lead body and an electrode structure, the electrode structure including an active side with an electrode disposed thereon, and an inactive side with an element disposed thereon. The introducer tool is configured to be temporarily inserted into a patient over a guidewire, and a portion of the release mechanism is selectively engageable with the element of the electrode structure to retain the electrode structure to the introducer tool.

Devices and methods for percutaneous electrode implant

Embodiments of the present invention generally pertain to devices and methods for use in conjunction with implanting a baroreflex therapy system which includes an implantable pulse generator and associated circuitry contained within a hermetically sealed housing, an elongate flexible electrical lead connectable to the housing, and a monopolar electrode structure coupled with the electrical lead. More specifically, the devices and methods of the present invention allow for a mapping procedure to be conducted as part of the implant procedure prior to fully implanting the baroreflex therapy system.
