Intravascular implantable medical device introduction |
摘要 |
In one example, this disclosure is directed to a kit for intravascular implantation of an implantable medical device within a patient, the kit comprising an elongated outer sheath forming an inner lumen with a distal opening, the outer sheath sized to traverse a vasculature of the patient, and an elongated inner sheath with an inflatable member at its distal portion. The inflatable member is inflatable from a proximal end of the inner sheath to close-off the distal opening of the outer sheath when inflated. The inner sheath further includes a stopper proximally located relative to the inflatable member. The inflatable member is remotely controllable from a proximal end of the inner sheath to retract in a proximal direction towards the stopper. The inflatable member can be retracted in a proximal direction towards the stopper and past an implantable medical device positioned within a distal portion of the outer sheath. |

1. A kit for intravascular implantation of an implantable medical device within a patient, the kit comprising:
an elongated outer sheath forming an inner lumen with a distal opening, the outer sheath sized to traverse a vasculature of the patient; and an elongated inner sheath with an inflatable member at a distal portion of the inner sheath, wherein the inflatable member is selectively inflatable from a proximal end of the inner sheath, wherein the inflatable member is configured to substantially close-off the distal opening of the outer sheath when inflated, wherein the inner sheath is slidable within the inner lumen of the outer sheath, wherein the inner sheath further includes a stopper proximally located relative to the inflatable member, wherein the inflatable member is remotely controllable from a proximal end of the inner sheath to retract in a proximal direction towards the stopper, wherein the kit is configured such that the inflatable member can be retracted in a proximal direction towards the stopper and past an implantable medical device positioned within a distal portion of the outer sheath. |
