Abstract
A guidewire is slidable through a percutaneous medical device. A distal end of the percutaneous medical device is moved in a proximal direction away from an anatomical site of a body of a subject. Simultaneously, a position of a distal end of the guidewire, with respect to the anatomical site, is maintained by moving a housing toward another housing that is coupled to the medical device. Other embodiments are also described.
