Abstract
Electrode systems for transvascular stimulation of target nerves include electrode arrays, elements promoting blood flow between electrode surfaces and surrounding vascular walls, electrodes shaped to promote more even current density than electrodes having angular edges, features for retaining the electrode systems with blood vessels, and features for using electrode-carrying elements to asymmetrically distend blood vessel walls towards target nerve structures.
