A minimally invasive intraluminal electrode assembly that includes a
cannulated tube and a plurality of wires disposed within the cannulated
tube. Each of the plurality of wires has one of a plurality of electrical
contacts on a distal end thereof. The distal portion of the plurality of
wires assumes a radially constrained configuration within the cannulated
tube in a retracted position and a radially extended position outward of
the cannulated tube in a deployed position. The electrode assembly
further comprises a spring electrode connecting the plurality of
electrical contacts to collectively form a substantially circular
configuration in a deployed position.
