Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A delivery assembly for delivering a prosthetic heart valve can include a first elongate component and a second elongate component. The delivery assembly can include a temporary valve location to which the prosthetic heart valve can be releasably mounted and an implantation location to which the prosthetic heart valve can also be releasable mounted. The delivery assembly can move from a delivery state with the prosthetic heart valve mounted to the temporary location to an implantation state with the prosthetic heart valve repositioned from the temporary location to the implantation location. The prosthetic heart valve can subsequently be deployed from the implantation location. The position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the temporary location is different than a position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the implantation location.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A prosthetic heart valve in combination with a delivery assembly, the delivery assembly comprising: a first elongate component that is movably disposed to a second elongate component, wherein the first elongate component is configured to deploy the prosthetic heart valve at a fixation site, the delivery assembly having a temporary valve location to which the prosthetic heart valve can be releasably mounted and an implantation location to which the prosthetic heart valve can also be releasably mounted, the prosthetic heart valve and delivery assembly combination being configurable with movement of the first elongate component relative to the second elongate component from a delivery state with the prosthetic heart valve mounted to the temporary location to an implantation state with the prosthetic heart valve repositioned from the temporary location to the implantation location so that the prosthetic heart valve can subsequently be deployed from the implantation location, wherein a position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the temporary location is different than a position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the implantation location. 2. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the prosthetic heart valve is a replacement aortic valve. 3. The combination of claim 2 , wherein the prosthetic heart valve comprises tissue leaflets. 4. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the prosthetic heart valve is a replacement mitral valve. 5. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the prosthetic heart valve is a replacement pulmonic valve. 6. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the prosthetic heart valve is a replacement tricuspid valve. 7. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the first elongate component is a catheter. 8. The combination of claim 1 , wherein the second elongate component is a catheter. 9. The combination of claim 1 , wherein a distal portion of the first elongate component is articulable, and wherein a distal portion of the second elongate component is articulable.
