Abstract
New and/or alternative designs for implantable leads that have fixation structures to keep leads at a desired location after implant. Fixation structure may take several forms that create distally located fixation for use primarily in subcutaneous implantation. Some examples include new and/or alternative methods of implanting such leads. Some examples also include fixation structures, such as a suture sleeve, that can be attached to a lead for fixation thereof. Some further examples show methods of implanting a subcutaneous lead, and others include methods of extracting implanted subcutaneous leads.
