1. A method comprising:

  • positioning an implantable inner lead relative to a window of an implantable outer lead body to expose a first sensor of the inner lead through the window; and

    repositioning the inner lead relative to the window of the outer lead body to expose a second sensor of the inner lead through the window;

    wherein the repositioning is performed after the inner lead and the outer lead have been implanted;

    the repositioning is accomplished by moving the inner lead within the outer lead body, thereby adjusting the implanted location of the inner lead; and

    the implantable medical device automatically activates the repositioning of the inner lead after detecting the failure of the first sensor.
