摘要：
A kit for implantation of an implantable medical device (IMD) comprises an elongated outer shaft, a tether, and an elongated inner shaft. The IMD comprises a fixation element comprising a looped portion. The outer shaft is sized to traverse a vasculature of the patient and defines a longitudinal lumen and a port in fluid communication with the lumen and located proximal a distal end of the outer shaft. A first portion of the tether is configured to pass through the lumen. A second portion of the tether is configured to exit the lumen through the port and pass through the looped portion of the fixation element of the IMD outside of the outer shaft. A third portion of the tether defines a looped portion of the tether. A portion of the inner shaft is configured to pass through the lumen and to pass through the looped portion of the tether.
