Abstract
A system for delivery of a leadless pacemaker. The system includes a catheter with an elongate flexible tubular body with a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the tubular body includes a delivery cup with an external surface having an inflatable compliant balloon; and a pacing capsule of the leadless pacemaker releasably retained in the delivery cup. The pacing capsule includes an arrangement of tines configured to deploy and pierce a target tissue at a desired pacing capsule implant site in a coronary sinus of a patient. The balloon, when at least partially inflated, is configured to urge the delivery cup against the target tissue during deployment of the pacing capsule.
