Zusammenfassung:An intravascular electrode lead and an intravascular stimulation device including the same. The intravascular electrode lead includes an electrode shaft; a plurality of filaments being made of a conductive, non-biodegradable material, running in longitudinal direction within the electrode shaft and protruding distally beyond a distal end of the electrode shaft, each filament terminating in at least one electrically active area; and a support member being arranged distally from the distal end of the electrode shaft and being dilatable from a compressed state to an radially expanded state, wherein the support member is attached to the filaments and made of a biodegradable material.
