A method and an apparatus for anchoring a medical implant device within a blood vessel or other body passageway are described herein. An anchor delivery system houses one or more expandable anchors connected to the medical implant device. The anchors remain housed in a non-expanded configuration until the medical implant device has been placed in a desired position within the body, and then the anchors are propelled through a body wall where each anchor expands outwardly from an anchor shaft. In one configuration, each anchor is formed as a compressible closed loop which extends outwardly from an anchor shaft and loops back to cross over and extend beyond the anchor shaft. To propel the anchors, a drive shaft is connected to a triggering unit which, when activated, causes the drive shaft to drive the anchor shafts in a direction such that the anchors are propelled through the body wall.
1.

1. A method for securing a medical device within a lumen, comprising: positioning the medical device within the lumen so as to place a distal end of a hollow leg of the medical device against an inner surface of a wall of the lumen;advancing an anchor from a stowed configuration within the hollow leg, through an opening in the hollow leg such that an anchor tip completely penetrates through the wall of the lumen from the inner surface to an outer surface; andcontinuing to advance the anchor through the opening until the anchor reaches a deployed configuration, wherein, an anchor portion proximal to the anchor tip forms a closed loop that is entirely positioned outside of the wall. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the anchor is substantially straight when in the stowed configuration. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein, when in the deployed configuration, the anchor portion proximal to the anchor tip extends arcuately toward the outer surface and the anchor tip extends away from the outer surface. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein, when in the deployed configuration, the anchor portion proximal to the anchor tip extends arcuately away from the outer surface and a tip of the anchor extends toward the outer surface. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein, in response to a force applied to the medical device, the closed loop decreases in diameter. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the force applied to the medical device results from expansion of the lumen. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein extending the anchor through the opening comprises extending the anchor laterally through the opening. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein a part of the anchor portion proximal to the anchor tip is adjacent to the outer surface when the anchor is in the deployed configuration. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising compressing the closed loop against the outer surface such that the wall is caught between the closed loop and the hollow leg. 10. A method for deploying a medical device in a vessel, wherein the medical device includes hollow leg having an opening proximal to a distal end of the hollow leg, an elongate anchor shaft disposed within the hollow leg, and an anchor at a distal end of the anchor shaft, the anchor having a proximal anchor portion attached to the anchor shaft, a central anchor portion adjacent to the proximal anchor portion, and a tip at the distal end of the anchor adjacent to the central anchor portion, the method comprising: advancing the anchor relative to the hollow leg so the anchor distal tip passes through the opening in the hollow leg;penetrating a vessel wall with the anchor tip;further advancing the anchor relative to the hollow leg until the central anchor portion is outside of the vessel wall; andcurving the central anchor portion such that the tip crosses over and extends beyond the proximal anchor portion to form a closed loop positioned entirely outside of the vessel wall. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein advancing the anchor relative to the hollow leg comprises extending the anchor laterally from the hollow leg. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the central anchor portion comprises a shape-memory material, and wherein curving the central anchor portion comprises returning the central anchor portion to a pre-shaped form. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein curving the central anchor portion comprises curving the central anchor portion arcuately toward an outer surface of the vessel wall such that the tip of the anchor extends away from the outer surface. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein curving the central anchor portion comprises curving the central anchor portion arcuately away from an outer surface of the vessel wall such that the tip of the anchor extends towards the outer surface. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein the closed loop decreases in diameter in response to a force applied to the medical device. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the force applied to the medical device results from expansion of the lumen. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein curving the central anchor portion comprises placing a part of the closed loop adjacent to an outer surface of the vessel wall. 18. The method of claim 10 further comprising compressing the closed loop against the outer surface such that the vessel wall is caught between the closed loop and the hollow leg. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein continuing to advance the anchor comprises advancing the anchor until the anchor portion proximal to the anchor tip engages the outer surface.
