An elongated guide sheath for delivering at least one medical instrument to a body lumen. For reliable and cost effective implantation of an electrode at the AV septum the inventive guide sheath forms a first guiding sleeve and a second guiding sleeve at least partly separated by a shared wall section, wherein the longitudinal axis of the first guiding sleeve and the longitudinal axis of the second guiding sleeve run parallel to a longitudinal guide sheath axis, wherein the wall of the first guiding sleeve and/or of the second guiding sleeve each comprises a slit which runs along at least part of the length of the respective guiding sleeve. Further, a system including the above guide sheath, a first catheter and/or guide wire and a second catheter or electrode is proposed.

Elongated guide sheath

An implantable medical device including at least one elongate electrical line with a first electrical component as a functional conductor, and at least one second electrical component with an electrical length. The first electrical component includes a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal side is in electrical contact with tissue or blood. The first electrical component is in electrical contact with the at least one second electrical component, and wherein the electrical length of the at least one second component corresponds to at least a tenth of a wavelength (&#x3bb;/10) of electromagnetic waves in a radiofrequency range.
