The placement of deep brain stimulator leads requires a great deal of technology and equipment. We describe our 25-month experience with an integrated platform system, the StimPilot (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN), for the placement of deep brain stimulator leads. The platform consists of a neuronavigation station, microdrive control, and microelectrode recording display and control. This platform is run from a laptop-sized portable control unit. The unit was used in 147 patients for the placement of 262 leads. Leads were placed into the subthalamic nucleus, ventral intermediate nucleus, globus pallidus interna, and anterior thalamic nucleus. One patient required replacement of one lead during this time frame, with successful reimplantation. No system failures occurred.
植入脑深部刺激器电极需要大量技术和设备。我们描述了我们使用集成平台系统StimPilot（美敦力公司，明尼阿波利斯，明尼苏达州）植入脑深部刺激器电极的25个月经验。该平台由神经导航工作站、微驱动器控制以及微电极记录显示与控制组成。该平台由一个笔记本电脑大小的便携式控制单元运行。该单元用于147例患者植入262根电极。电极被植入丘脑底核、腹中间核、苍白球内侧部和丘脑前核。在此期间，有1例患者需要更换1根电极，再次植入成功。未发生系统故障。
