Abstract
A method and apparatus for dynamically fixating and removing a lead in a vasculature of a body. At least one segmenting means such as a collar is disposed at a distal end of the lead forming a deployable actuable segment adapted to dynamically assume an engaging and retracted position. In an engaging position, the actuable segment dynamically and varyingly adapts into a shape or shapes to engage a vessel. In a retracted position the shape or shapes collapse thus maintaining the original geometry of the lead in the vasculature. The actuable segment assumes a deployed or retracted position based on the flexural condition of the segment, respectively.
