Zusammenfassung:A system for tracking the location of an anatomical structure, the system comprising: a J-bar and electrical lead assembly comprising: a J-bar comprising a tracker, a distal electrical connector formed on the tracker, and at least one mount for mounting the tracker to tissue, wherein the tracker is configured to provide a signal representative of the position of the tracker when the tracker is supplied with electrical power; an expandable basket configured to assume (i) a radially-reduced profile when the expandable basket is radially constricted, and (ii) a radially-expanded profile when the expandable basket is not radially constricted, the expandable basket further comprising a distal electrical connector; and an electrical lead extending distally between the J-bar and the expandable basket, the electrical lead being electrically connected to (i) the distal electrical connector formed on the tracker, and (ii) the distal electrical connector of the expandable basket.
