A device (40) for delivering an implantable medical device (20) (e.g. a paci ng lead) to a target site in a heart along a predetermined pathway that include s a generally straight first portion (41) extending from a proximal end (35) t o a distal end (37) and a curved second portion (43) extending from the distal end of the first portion to a distal end of the device. The curved second portion includes a first curve portion (50, 51) formed in a first plane and a second curved portion (61) formed in a second plane substantially orthogonal to the first plane to direct the implantable medical device toward an epicardial surface of the heart directly adjacent to the predetermined pathw ay.
