An electrophysiology catheter introduced through the groin and inferior vena cava into the right side of the heart comprises an elongate flexible shaft having a steerable distal section and a prolapsing section located proximally of the distal section. The distal section is inserted into the coronary sinus and a back-steering force is applied to the catheter to anchor the distal section therein, after which the catheter is further advanced to prolapse the prolapsing section against the high right atrium. Electrical pathways in both the coronary sinus and the high right atrium are mapped using respective electrode pairs carried on the distal and prolapsing sections of the catheter.

L'invention concerne un cathéter électrophysiologique introduit à travers l'aine et la veine cave du côté droit du coeur qui comprend une tige souple oblongue possédant une section distale orientable et une section de prolapsus située à proximité de la section distale. La section distale est introduite dans le sinus coronaire et une force de rétroguidage est appliquée sur le cathéter afin d'y ancrer la section distale, puis le cathéter continue à avancer afin de réaliser un prolapsus de la section de prolapsus contre l'atrium droit supérieur. Des voies électriques à la fois du sinus coronaire et de l'atrium droit supérieur sont cartographiées sur les sections distale et de prolapsus du cathéter.
