Abstract
A tachy lead includes a lead body extending from a lead proximal end portion to a lead distal end portion and having an intermediate portion therebetween, one or more tissue sensing/stimulation electrodes disposed along the lead body, one or more terminal connections disposed along the lead proximal end portion. The lead further includes one or more conductors contained within the lead body extending between the tissue sensing/stimulation electrodes and the terminal connections, a porous drug-eluting coating disposed onto at least a portion of the lead body and/or sensing/stimulation electrodes, wherein the drug-eluting coating comprises porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a biodegradable polymer and one or more drugs.
