A catheter for insertion in the ostium of the coronary sinus in the right atrium comprised of a main reinforced portion, an intermediate zone portion and a soft tip portion wherein a portion of the catheter is curved in a double curve, wherein the first curve is a first longitudinal curve, wherein the second curve is a second longitudinal curve, wherein the second longitudinal curve is curved in approximately the same direction as the first longitudinal curve and wherein the first and second longitudinal curves are generally coplanar.

Coronary sinus catheter

A guiding introducer system for use in the right atrium comprised of an inner guiding introducer and an outer guiding introducer wherein the inner guiding introducer is comprised of a first and second section and the outer guiding introducer is comprised of a first, second and third section. The guiding introducer system is for use in sensing, pacing, and ablating procedures within the right atrium of the human heart.

Guiding introducer system for use in the right atrium

A guiding introducer for use with an endomyocardial biopsy forceps is disclosed. The guiding introducer is precurved to assist in the support and placement of biopsy forceps or a bioptome in the correct location within the heart for biopsy procedures, preferably the right ventricle.

Guiding introducer for endomyocardial biopsy procedures

A guiding introducer for use in the right atrium comprised of a first, second and third section wherein the first section is a generally elongated straight section wherein merged with the distal end of the first section is a second section which is curved upward in a longitudinal curve wherein the distal end of the second section is merged with the third section. The guiding introducer is for use in sensing, pacing and ablating procedures in the right atrium of the human heart.

Guiding introducer for right atrium

A guiding introducer system for use in the left atrium comprised of an inner guiding introducer and an outer guiding introducer wherein the inner guiding introducer is comprised of a first and second section and the outer guiding introducer is comprised of a first and second sections. The guiding introducer system is for use in sensing, pacing, and ablating procedures within the left atrium of the human heart.

Guilding introducer system for use in the left atrium

A guiding introducer for use in the left atrium comprised of a first, second and third section wherein the first section is a generally elongated straight section wherein merged with the distal end of the first section is a second section which is curved in a compound curve, first curving upward in a first longitudinal curve and simultaneously curving to the right in a second longitudinal curve, wherein the second section merges with the third section wherein said third section is a third longitudinal curve wherein the plane of the third section is angled upward at an angle of approximately 25 to about 60 degrees from the plane of the first section and wherein substantially all of the third section is coplanar.

Method of using a guiding introducer for left atrium

A catheter for mapping and ablating cardiac tissue comprising an elongated catheter body with proximal and distal ends and an electrode comprising an electrode conductor and a helical electrode comprising a series of turns which is secured to the catheter body near its distal end, wherein at least a portion of the circumference of the turns of the helical electrode portion is uncoated. Also disclosed is a process for ablating human tissue wherein a helical electrode secured to a catheter body near its distal end is utilized for an ablating procedure.

Ablation catheter

A catheter for insertion in the ostium of the coronary sinus in the right atrium comprised of a main reinforced portion, an intermediate zone portion and a soft tip portion, wherein a portion of the catheter is curved in a compound curve formed by a first and second curve, wherein the second curve may be curved in the same direction as the first curve or out of a plane formed by the first curve.

Method for mopping and/or ablation of anomalous conduction pathways

A guiding introducer for in the left atrium comprised of a first, second and third section wherein the first section is a generally elongated straight section wherein merged with the distal end of the first section is a second section which is curved in a compound curve, first curving upward in a first longitudinal curve and simultaneously curving to the right in a second longitudinal curve, wherein the second section merges with the third section wherein said third section is a third longitudinal curve wherein the plane of the third section is angled upward at an angle of approximately 25 to about 60 degrees from the plane of the first section and wherein substantially all of the third section is coplanar.
