US Patent 8688211 Percutaneous neurostimulator for modulating cardiovascular function

A neurostimulation device includes an external neurostimulator worn by a patient using a bracing element that braces a portion of the patient's body. The external neurostimulator delivers neurostimulation to modulate a cardiovascular function of the patient. In one embodiment, the external stimulator delivers neurostimulation percutaneously to a stimulation target in the patient's body using at least one percutaneous stimulation electrode having a distal end lodged on or near the stimulation target.
