ABSTRACT:
A method including inserting an electrode into an umbilical vein, and advancing the electrode through the umbilical vein to a location near or in a heart. In an example, the electrode is inserted into an umbilical vein in utero. In another example, the electrode is inserted into an umbilical vein in a child soon after the child is born. In an example, the electrode is connected to a lead. In an example, a lead is inserted through a catheterized umbilicus.
