Abstract: A transseptal catheter delivery system includes an elongate first tubular member and an elongate second tubular member receivable within the first tubular member. The first tubular member includes an adjustable portion adjacent a distal end. The second tubular member is adapted to receive an instrument to be placed in the left ventricle, and includes a curved portion adjacent its distal end in a relaxed state. The adjustable portion is deflectable toward the atrial septum to guide a puncturing tool and/or guide insertion of the second tubular member through a septal puncture into the left atrium. Within the left atrium, the curved portion is oriented toward the left ventricle to guide insertion of a guide wire, and subsequently the second tubular member, into the left ventricle. Methods of transvenously accessing a left ventricle are also provided.

Abstract: A method includes locating the triangle of Koch region in the right atrium of a patient's heart; securing at least one electrode of an implantable lead or device to cardiac tissue from the triangle of Koch region to deliver ventricle-from-atrium (VfA) cardiac therapy; and testing the location or depth of the at least one electrode to configure VfA cardiac therapy. Locating the target implant region in the triangle of Koch region may include detecting an atrial slow pathway potential (ASP) or atrial pacing output.

Abstract: A medical system comprising a guiding catheter having an inflation lumen. The inflation lumen extends within a handle and a shaft of the guiding catheter. An inflatable sleeve has a proximal end and a distal end, with the ends attached to the guiding catheter. A sealed interior portion of the inflatable sleeve is bounded by the inflatable sleeve and the shaft of the guiding catheter, and in fluid communication with a distal port of the inflation lumen. The system further comprises a delivery catheter defining a delivery lumen and configured for sliding engagement within the guide lumen of the guiding catheter.

Abstract: An implantable medical device delivery system includes a delivery catheter including an elongated body with a first portion defining a first lumen and a second portion defining a second lumen. An angle is defined between a first axis and a second axis defined by the first and second portions, respectively. The second axis points toward the left ventricular (LV) apex of the patient's heart when the first axis points into the CS. The first portion or an elongated element may extend into the CS to anchor the delivery catheter to the orientation of the CS.

Abstract: A method and system for employing a medical device is disclosed. The medical device includes a housing, a processor disposed within the housing, a connector module, and a medical electrical epicardial lead connected to the processor through the connector module. The epicardial lead is used to sense a cardiac signal from tissue of a patient. The lead comprises an insulative lead body that includes a proximal end and a distal end, at least one conductor disposed in the lead body, and a side helical fixation member, disposed a distance from the distal end, the side helical fixation member. The side helical fixation member comprises a set of windings configured to wrap around the lead body circumference. The side helical fixation member includes a distal tip comprising a sharpened elongated flat free end that is perpendicular to the lead body and angled toward an inside of the set of windings.

Abstract: A catheter assembly includes a cap and a spring-biased tethering member coupled thereto. The cap includes first and second portions, and a transition zone extending therebetween. A girth of the first portion is sized to fit within a distal-most opening of the catheter assembly; and a girth of the second portion tapers from a first size at the transition zone, which is too large to fit within the distal-most opening, to a smaller size at a distal end of the cap. The spring-biased tethering member holds the cap in open and closed positions, when the cap first portion extends within the distal-most opening, and when the cap is separated from the distal-most opening, respectively. At the closed position, the first portion is approximately concentric with the distal-most opening, and at the open position, an entirety of the cap is laterally offset from the distal-most opening.
