A method of implanting a lead in the left heart cavity includes introducing the lead into the right heart cavity. The lead includes a lead body having a deformable sheath, a proximal end having an electrical connector, a distal end including a projecting helical screw electrode, and a conductor extending along the sheath, electrically connecting the electrical connector and the helical screw. The method further includes positioning the distal end of the lead to abut a septum wall between the right and left heart cavity. The electrical connector is connected to an RF puncture generator and RF energy is applied to the screw while providing rotational movement to the screw for advancement through the septum wall. The method further includes positioning the screw at a target stimulation site in the left heart cavity and providing rotational movement to the screw to anchor the lead at the target site.
