Zusammenfassung:A flexible electrode catheter for rapid endocardial insertion has a "J"-shaped curved configuration. A wing extends laterally from the catheter at the proximal end, and has an established relationship between the lateral direction of the wing and the direction of the curve, allowing the physician to control the orientation of the distal end during and after insertion within the heart. The wing may then be used to stabilize the electrode by taping to the patient's skin. The curved end is opened between 20 DEG -50 DEG from the longitudinal axis of the catheter.
