  • an elongated lead body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen;

    an electrode at the distal end of the lead body;

    a stiffening member adapted to be advanced within the lumen;

    an injection port adapted to deliver fluoro-visible media through the lumen to the body while the stiffening member is advanced within the lumen;

    a sealable member located at the distal end of the lumen to prevent fluids from the body from entering the lumen while allowing a distal end of the stiffening member to be advanced beyond a distal end of the lead body; and

    an inflatable member proximal to the electrode and adapted to be inflated prior to the delivery of fluoro-visible media through the lumen of the lead body.
