Abstract
An intravascular lead is used to deliver energy for stimulating nervous system targets using energy delivery elements (e.g. electrodes) that are in direct contact with the nervous system targets. The lead may be positioned within the internal jugular vein and the nervous system targets may include the carotid artery/carotid sinus bulb and/or associated baroreceptor afferents, and/or surrounding nervous system targets in the region of the internal jugular vein, such as the carotid sinus nerve and/or associated nerve branches and/or the vagus nerve and/or associated nerve branches. Stimulation energy travels along a conductive bridge that extends from the intravascular lead to the nervous system target, or is relayed from the intravascular lead to another device disposed within or surrounding the target structure.
