    Abstract: A device comprising a flexible, elongate member (16) having proximal (17) and distal (18) extremities and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart elements (31-34) disposed in the distal extremity (18). A control mechanism (12) is secured to the proximal extremity (17) of the flexible, elongate member (16) and includes a housing (41), a first control member (56) slidably mounted in the housing (41) and a second control member (64) rotatably mounted in the housing (41). Electrical circuitry couples the control member (56, 64) to the elements (31-34) whereby movement of the control members (56, 64) translates into movement of the distal extremity (18) of the flexible, elongate member (16).

    Abstract: A catheter probe (501) is provided for introduction into a chamber of the heart having blood therein and formed by a wall through a lumen leading to the chamber. The catheter probe includes a flexible elongate tubular member (502) having proximal and distal extremities (502a, 502b) and a lumen (576) extending therebetween. A plurality of longitudinally-extending spaced-apart arms (511) having interconnected proximal and distal extremities (511a, 511b) are carried by the distal extremity of the flexible elongate tubular member. The arms are movable between a contracted position and an expanded position in which they bow outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the catheter probe. The arms subtend an angle of approximately 180 DEG or less about the longitudinal axis when in the expanded position. A plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart electrodes (512) are carried by each of the arms. Electrical conductors (541) extend through the elongate tubular member and are connected to the electrodes for performing electrical functions with respect to the electrodes. A wire (611) is slidably carried within the lumen for causing the arms to move to the expanded position. The electrodes carried by the arms can be urged against a portion of the wall of the heart when the arms are in the expanded position to map the portion of the wall.

    Abstract: This invention is an endocardial mapping apparatus (11) for mapping the wall of a chamber of the heart having blood therein. The apparatus (11) includes a basket assembly (22) that is carried by a distal extremity (17) of a flexible elongate tubular member (13) and is movable between contracted and expanded positions. The basket assembly (22) has a plurality of spaced apart arms (25) with joined proximal and distal extremities (27, 28) and a plurality of electrodes (36) carried by each arm (25). The arms (25) have spaces (33) therebetween when the basket assembly (22) is in an expanded position. A rotatable member (41) is rotatably coupled to the joined distal extremities (28) and is disposed within the basket assembly (22). At least one electrode (57) is carried by the rotatable member (41) for engaging the wall of the heart. A torque knob (68) is coupled to the rotatable member (68) for rotating the member (41) within the basket assembly (22) and for bowing it radially outwardly into a space (33) between the arms (25).
