1. A method for implanting a medical lead comprising:
anchoring a distal end of a lead body of the medical lead to a patient tissue proximate a target site; and
after anchoring the distal end of the lead body to the patient tissue, extending a cable conductor along a trajectory from the distal end of the lead body to deploy a cable electrode within the patient tissue,
wherein the cable conductor is slideable within the lead body to extend and retract the cable electrode along the trajectory extending from the distal end of the lead body,
wherein the cable conductor includes an elongated conductor, an outer insulating layer over the elongated conductor, and the cable electrode located proximate or at a distal end of the cable conductor.
