Abstract
An epicardial screw lead for stimulation/defibrillation implantable by a guide-catheter inserted into the pericardial space is described. The lead is a monodiameter lead with a helical anchoring screw extending axially of the lead body. The guide-catheter () has a pre-shaped tube having, in the absence of stress, a first bend () for supporting the lead body on the outer wall of the pericardial space (), and a second bend () for orienting the end of the guide-catheter tube in the direction of the outer wall of the myocardium () and keeping the axis of the anchoring screw () in that same direction during a combined movement of screwing and insertion of the lead head.
