Abstract:

An implantable medical lead is disclosed herein. The lead includes a first electrode and a first electrical circuit. The first electrode is near a distal portion of the lead. The first electrical circuit extends through the lead to the first electrode and includes at least one conductor and a first band stop filter coupled between the distal end of the conductor and the electrode. The first band stop filter includes a first group of inductors in parallel and a second group of inductors in parallel. The first group is in series with the second group. The first group of inductors may include a self resonant L. The first group of inductors may include a self resonant tank LC. The first group of inductors may include a miniature self resonant L or miniature self resonant tank LC. The first group of inductors may include an integrated circuit of L and C components.
