Abstract
A method for coupling a first medical device component to a second medical device component includes altering the first medical device component from a natural state to an altered state, by reducing a cross-sectional dimension of the first medical device. The method further includes fitting a first portion of the first medical device component in the altered state into a first opening of the second medical device component. The first medical device component includes second portions not within the first opening of the second medical device component. The method further includes allowing the second portions of the first medical device component to revert back to the natural state.
