What is described is a method of implanting one or more electrodes of a pacing or defibrillation lead in heart tissue. The method comprises positioning a distal end of a catheter against a surface of the heart tissue, extending a distal end of a first electrode from a lumen of the catheter such that the distal end of the first electrode penetrates the surface, and retracting the first electrode to fix a hook feature of the first electrode in the heart tissue.
