摘要：
This disclosure provides various embodiments of implant tools and implant techniques utilizing those tools to implant components within extravascular locations. In one example, an implant tool for implanting a component within an extravascular location of a patient comprise a handle and a shaft adjacent the handle. The shaft has a proximal end, a distal end, and a body formed to define an open channel that extends from near the proximal end to the distal end. The open channel has a first width. The body has at least one flexible portion that defines an opening via which the open channel is accessed. The opening has a second width that is less than the first width. In another example, a sheath with an opening having the second width may be placed on the shaft of the implant tool instead of the implant tool having the at least one flexible portion.
