ABSTRACT:
A steerable guide catheter for the placement of electrical lead wires useful for cardiac pacemakers and other electrophysiology devices includes an atraumatic balloon at its distal end. The catheter has a proximal hemostatic seal and is axially splittable so that it may be removed over an electrical lead wire having an enlarged connector at its proximal end. The balloon is preferably asymmetrically mounted to permit such splitting.
