ABSTRACT:
Technique for permitting ease of mapping of the myocardial tissues during implantation of a myocardial electrode. The technique employs the use of a disposable exploring needle located on the distal end of the implantable lead assembly. The permanent electrode is attached to the exploring needle by being embedded into an electrically conducting material of the exploring needle. The implanting physician explores the electrical characteristics of the myocardial tissues using the exploring needle. Upon finding the desired electrode location, the exploring needle is removed and discarded and the electrode is permanently attached in the manner customary in the prior art.
