ABSTRACT:
A low profile defibrillation catheter which is much thinner than existing devices. The thin structure is provided by using the current conductor as the electrode. The thin design is motivated by an electrical field analysis which reveals that the length of the catheter is the important determinant of defibrillation ability, and that the large radius and surface area of prior art devices was not beneficial.
