1. An elongated intralumenal device, comprising:

  • a) an elongated shaft having a proximal section and a distal section which is much shorter than the proximal section and which is configured to be advanced within a body lumen disposed within a region of the patient'"'"'s anatomy from which electrical activity originates or is conducted;

    b) a plurality of sensing electrodes spacially disposed on the distal shaft section which are adapted to receive electrical signals from within the body lumen disposed within the region of the patient'"'"'s anatomy;

    c) a plurality of electrical conductors which are electrically connected to separate sensing electrodes on the distal shaft section, which extend to a proximal extremity of the elongated shaft, and which are adapted to transfer electrical signals received by the sensing electrode connected thereto; and

    d) a occluding element releaseably secured to the distal section of the elongated shaft which is adapted to occlude the body lumen.
