• It has been previously shown that parasympathetic nerve stimulation (PNS) can be achieved via basket electrode catheters (BEC) positioned in the superior vena cava (SVC). Since questions have been raised regarding formation of thrombi between and/or on the splines of the BECs, we investigated the use of a flexible loop "Lasso" catheter (LC) to achieve autonomic nerve stimulation in the SVC without clot formation. In 5 dogs, anesthetized with Na-pentobarbital, standard ECG leads II and aVR, blood pressure and right atrial electrograms were continuously monitored. The LC is a 7-French catheter at the end of which is a circular ring, 25 mm in diameter, equipped with ten 1-mm electrodes. The circular loop is made of a flexible, shape retaining, covered metal, which can be straightened in order to be inserted transvenously. The catheter was inserted through a sheath in the external jugular vein and positioned in the SVC. Stimulation was performed sequentially across each of the five bipolar pairs of electrodes, and consisted of square wave stimuli, each 0.1 msec duration, frequency 20 Hz at voltages from 1-40 V. The average voltage required to produce a 50% decrease in heart rate was 15 ± 7 V, compared to 22 ± 12 V with the standard BEC and 10 ± 5 V with a modified BEC. We did not observe any thrombus formation at the end of a four-hour period during which the catheter was stabilized in the SVC. PNS can be achieved safely and effectively by the LC in the SVC in dogs.
