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 first electrode () at a distal end of the lead adapted to be in contact with tissue of the organ, a connector at a proximal end of the lead adapted to be connected to a monitoring and/or controlling device, a conducting arrangement comprising a first conducting coil () of at least one electrically conducting wire () for connecting the first electrode electrically to the connector to receive and/or transmit electric signals from and to the tissue, respectively, and a flexible tubing () surrounding the lead from the proximal to the distal end, wherein 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, and the conducting arrangement comprises also a first end conductor, in form of a non-coiled electric conductor () or an eccentrically positioned small diameter coil (), which connects the first electrode () electrically with the coil.
