The present application describes a method and apparatus for implanting a medical device within a living body. The apparatus includes an elongate sleeve positionable with a living body, such as within a blood vessel, and a medical device insertable into the sleeve. During use, the sleeve is retained with the body, and the medical device is sealed within the sleeve. The sleeve substantially avoids biological growth onto the medical device, and thus permits removal of the medical device independently of the sleeve. The apparatus may be an intravascular defibrillation and/or pacing system or a dnig delivery system.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'implanter un dispositif médical dans un corps vivant. Cet appareil comprend un manchon allongé pouvant être placé dans un corps vivant, par exemple dans un vaisseau sanguin, ainsi qu'un dispositif médical pouvant être inséré dans ce manchon. Durant l'utilisation, le manchon est retenu dans le corps, et le dispositif médical est scellé dans le manchon. Le manchon évite sensiblement une croissance biologique sur le dispositif médical et ainsi permet le retrait du dispositif médical indépendamment du manchon.
