1. A device, comprising:

  • an energy source;

    an endocardial ablation catheter electrically connected to the energy source and configured to be disposed in a heart and to transmit energy received from the energy source for ablating a portion of the heart;

    an electrode catheter configured to be disposed in the middle mediastinum of the thorax of a subject and configured for use with the endocardial ablation catheter, said electrode catheter comprising;

    a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a longitudinal structure there between;

    at least one distal fluid aperture adapted for passage of a fluid; and

    an electrode in communication with said electrode catheter,wherein said electrode is configured to receive the transmitted energy from the endocardial ablation catheter, andwherein said electrode catheter is configured to be placed outside of the heart, and to receive the transmitted energy from the endocardial ablation catheter via said electrode while the endocardial ablation catheter is disposed inside of the heart.
