This disclosure is directed to a catheter having a basket-shaped electrode assembly at the distal end of the catheter body formed from a plurality of spines with electrodes. The basket-shaped electrode assembly structural elements at the proximal and distal ends. The structural elements may maintain the spines in a desired spatial relationship with each other and/or may couple the distal ends of the spines to a pulling member. The basket-shaped electrode assembly has expanded arrangement in which the spines bow outwards and a collapsed arrangement in which the spines are arranged generally along a longitudinal axis of the catheter body
A catheter comprising an elongated catheter body having proximal and distal ends and at least one lumen therethrough and a basket-shaped electrode assembly at the distal end of the catheter body, the basket-shaped electrode assembly comprising a plurality of spines having proximal ends connected by a proximal structural element and a distal structural element, each spine comprising a plurality of electrodes, wherein the basket-shaped electrode assembly has an expanded arrangement in which the spines bow radially outward and a collapsed arrangement in which the spines are arranged generally along a longitudinal axis of the catheter body.
