Abstract
The invention relates to a medical implantable lead for monitoring and/or controlling an organ inside a human or animal body. The lead comprises a conducting arrangement having a first conducting coil of at least one electrically conducting wire for connecting a first electrode electrically to a connector to receive and/or transmit electric signals from and to the tissue, respectively. The lead is tapered in a distal portion and has a smaller cross sectional dimension at the distal portion than at the rest of the lead. The first conducting coil is terminated at a termination point on a distance from the distal end. The conducting arrangement has a first end conductor in the form of a non-coiled electric conductor or an eccentrically positioned small diameter coil which connects the first electrode electrically with the coil.
