Summary:An implantable medical device that includes an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, a helical fixation member extending from the distal end of the elongated body, the helical fixation member including a distal tip for affixing the distal end of the elongated body at an implant site, and a tracking member extending from the distal end of the elongated body, through the helical fixation member and outward from the distal tip of the helical fixation member for tracking along an implant pathway during implantation of the implantable medical device. L'invention concerne un dispositif médical implantable comprenant un corps allongé pourvu d'une extrémité proximale et d'une extrémité distale, un élément de fixation hélicoïdal s'étendant depuis l'extrémité distale du corps allongé, cet élément de fixation hélicoïdal comprenant un embout distal destiné à se fixer à l'extrémité distale du corps allongé au niveau d'un site d'implantation, et un élément de suivi s'étendant depuis l'extrémité distale du corps allongé dans l'élément de fixation hélicoïdal et à l'extérieur de l'embout distal de l'élément de fixation hélicoïdal et permettant d'exercer un suivi le long d'une voie d'implantation au cours de l'implantation du dispositif médical implantable.
