Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There are disclosed apparatus and methods for replacing a percutaneous ca ble in connection with a vascular device. In an embodiment, the apparatus in cludes a distal disconnect coupler, a distal connector portion of the cable configured for removable connection with the distal disconnect coupler, and a connector cap configured for removable connection with the distal disconne ct coupler and for tunneling through skin and tissue. In one embodiment, a m ethod of repositioning a percutaneous cable in connection with a vascular de vice includes providing the cable with a distal disconnect coupler, disconne cting the cable at the distal disconnect coupler, attaching a connector cap to the distal disconnect coupler, removing the percutaneous cable from a fir st exit site, tunneling the connector cap together with the distal disconnec t coupler through skin and tissue to form a new exit site, disconnecting the connector cap, and connecting the cable to the distal disconnect coupler.
