PASS-THROUGH IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE DELIVERY CATHETER
First Claim
1. A kit for intravascular implantation of an implantable medical device within a patient, the kit comprising:
- an elongated inner sheath with a distal end;
a first coupling module slidably connected to the inner sheath;
an elongated outer sheath forming an inner lumen with a distal opening and a proximal opening, the outer sheath sized to traverse a vasculature of the patient, wherein the proximal opening is configured to receive the distal end of the inner sheath, and wherein the inner lumen is sized to receive the inner sheath and to contain the implantable medical device; and
a mating coupling module secured to a proximal end of the outer sheath, wherein the mating coupling module is configured to connect to the first coupling module such that the inner sheath is axially aligned with the outer sheath,wherein the inner sheath is slidable within the outer sheath while the first coupling module is connected to the mating coupling module.

Abstract
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 inner sheath with a distal end, a first coupling module slidably connected to the inner sheath, an elongated outer sheath forming an inner lumen with a distal opening and a proximal opening. The outer sheath sized to traverse a vasculature of the patient. The proximal opening is configured to receive the distal end of the inner sheath. The inner lumen is sized to receive the inner sheath and to contain the implantable medical device. The kit further includes a mating coupling module that connects to the first coupling module such that the inner sheath is axially aligned with the outer sheath. The inner sheath is slidable within the outer sheath while the first coupling module is connected to the mating coupling module.

15. A method for intravascular implantation of an implantable medical device within a patient comprising:
-
positioning a distal end of an elongated outer sheath via a vasculature of the patient proximate to a target site within the patient, wherein the outer sheath forms an inner lumen with a distal opening and a proximal opening; connecting a first coupling module that is slidably connected to an elongated inner sheath with a mating coupling module secured to a proximal end of the outer sheath, wherein the mating coupling module is configured to connect to the first coupling module such that the inner sheath is axially aligned with the outer sheath, wherein the inner sheath has a distal end, wherein an implantable medical device is positioned in the inner lumen of the outer sheath; and pushing the implantable medical device through the inner lumen of the outer sheath and out of the distal opening with the inner sheath to deploy the implantable medical device proximate to the target site within the patient. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
