Claim Text:
1. Electrode assembly for temporary cardioversion/defibrillation and/or temporary stimulation of the heart after open heart surgery comprising: a first defibrillation electrode with at least one indifferent pole and an elastic section, where the first defibrillation electrode is adapted to be positioned on the left atrium in the usage position, said first defibrillation electrode includes a fixation member disposed on its distal end and proximally ends into a protective tube; a second defibrillation electrode with at least one indifferent pole and an elastic section, where the second defibrillation electrode is adapted to be positioned on the right atrium in the usage position, wherein said second defibrillation electrode includes a fixation member disposed on its distal end and proximally ends into a protective tube; a pair of different poles; and a guide tube, whereby the fixation members are adapted to be fixed on the right and left side in the pericardium when in use or are adapted to be anchored to each other at the front of the heart and wherein the protective tubes of the first and second defibrillation electrodes are both inserted into the guide tube that is slidable along its longitudinal axis such that after fastening the first and second defibrillation electrode, wherein the guide tube is slidable along its longitudinal axis such that after fastening the first and second defibrillation electrode, the distance between the first and second defibrillation electrode and between the different poles is adjustable by shifting the guide tube along its longitudinal axis.
