摘要:
Delivery devices, systems, and methods for delivering implantable leadless pacing devices are disclosed. An example delivery device may include a tubular member and a distal holding section extending distally of a distal end of the tubular member and defining a cavity therein for receiving an implantable leadless pacing device. The delivery device may facilitate vascular delivery of the pacing device to a left side of a patients heart. In one example, a distal tip portion may extend distal of the distal holding section and may be actuated between a closed and an opened position. When in the closed position, the distal tip portion may have a tip that can puncture or engage an opening in a septum between a left atrium and a right atrium of a patients heart. Actuating the distal tip portion to an opened position may be utilized to dilate the puncture or opening in the septum.
