Abstract
An implantable subcutaneous device includes a lead and electrode for cardiac monitoring and intervention. The device has an implantable lead including a lead body, a subcutaneous electrode supported by the lead body and a pharmacological agent impelled from the device using phoresis. The pharmacological agent provides a therapeutic treatment to subcutaneous non-intrathoracic tissue. A method of implanting subcutaneous leads involves providing a lead including a lead body, a subcutaneous electrode, and a pharmacological agent and using phoresis to impel the pharmacological agent into subcutaneous non-intrathoracic tissue surrounding the lead.
