Abstract: A system for stimulating a baroreflex of a patient that includes a first light source with a first emitter for emitting a first light, the first emitter at a first location proximate a target tissue having baroreceptor cells, and a second light source including a second emitter and for emitting a second light, the second emitter at a second location proximate the target tissue. The system also includes a control circuit coupled to the first and the second light sources, the control circuit configured to activate the first and the second light sources such that the first light traverses a first pathway to arrive at and penetrate the first portion of the target tissue and the second light-like traverses a second pathway to arrive at and penetrate the second portion of the target tissue, thereby stimulating the baroreceptor cells and activating a baroreflex of the patient.

Abstract: Devices and methods of use for introduction and implantation of an electrode as part of a minimally invasive technique. An implantable baroreflex activation system includes a control system having an implantable housing, an electrical lead, attachable to the control system, and an electrode structure. The electrode structure is near one end of the electrical lead, and includes a monopolar electrode, a backing material having an effective surface area larger than the electrode, and a releasable pivotable interface to mate with an implant tool. The electrode is configured for implantation on an outer surface of a blood vessel and the control system is programmed to deliver a baroreflex therapy via the monopolar electrode to a baroreceptor within a wall of the blood vessel.
