Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for implanting an automatic implantable defibrillator without the need for major surgery is disclosed. Preconfigured electrodes are straightened by the use of a stylet or by the surrounding catheter and inserted into the intrapericardial space through catheters. The catheters may be removed or may be left in place and attached to the pericardium or surrounding tissue to hold the electrodes in place.
