摘要: A cardiac catheter being flexible throughout its length and having a deformable preformed distal end with memory, that is, the is formed set curvature to which tends return when deforming force removed. contour or stiffening wire slidably resides within lumen separate from parallel main fluid of catheter. The closed at catheter, normally extending through substantially full lumen. may be reduced straightened some degree by thereof. method using employs create plurality different curvatures aid in obtaining visual representations areas system.
