Abstract: An implantable medical device having at least one compliant retention member configured not only to resist migration of the device with respect to its deployment site, but also to conform to anatomical forces applied thereto. The retention member may present a convex tissue-contacting surface to tissue at the deployment site and to which anatomical forces may be applied. The retention member may be compressible upon application of radially-inwardly directed anatomical forces thereto, but is sized, shaped, configured, and/or dimensioned to withstand forces tending to cause migration of the implantable medical device even when being compressed radially-inwardly. As such, the implantable medical device withstands forces applied thereto without building up internal stresses which may result in material fatigue.
