The system includes a guide catheter having a fluid delivery lumen in communication with an active fixation, fluid dispensing member and a lead delivery lumen for deploying a medical lead. The system includes a medical lead having an active or passive fixation member and a central lumen through which a tip portion is deployed. The system may be used with implantable pulse generators, drug delivery pumps and the like.
