A method for identifying an anatomical landmark inside a human body for lead fixation of a medical device. One or more balloons are inflated using air or fluid. A delivery sheath having a distal end attached to the one or more balloons is advanced across a tricuspid valve to a right ventricle. A moderator band or an anterior papillary muscle is identified by the one or more balloons, using X-ray or fluoroscopy. The one or more balloons is then moved to be adjacent to a smooth portion of an inlet septum using the delivery sheath or inflation of the one or more balloons. Using X-ray or fluoroscopy, compression or deformation of the one or more balloons is visualized when an outer curvature and/or a distal pole of the one or more balloons contacts the inlet septum. Using a lumen of the delivery sheath, a lead of a medical device is advanced into the inlet septum.
