摘要：An apparatus for implanting an implant device having a corkscrew-type anchorassociated therewith into a patient includes an elongated, flexible shaft. A retentionmechanism is located at the distal end of the shaft for retaining the device at the distalend of the shaft. The apparatus includes means selectively operable for disengaging theretention mechanism from the implant device when the anchor has been anchored intotissue at a target site. In another aspect, an apparatus for releasing an implant into avessel within a patient includes an elongated shaft for inserting into the vessel of thepatient. A tether wire extends through the proximal portion of a secondary lumen, exits afirst port, engages a portion of the implant, enters a second port, and extends through atleast a portion of a distal portion of the secondary lumen. The implant is thereby
tethered to the side of the elongated shaft, and pulling the tether wire disengages thetether wire from the distal portion of the secondary lumen and the implant so as torelease the implant from the shaft.
