Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a prosthetic heart valve. The system includes an inner shaft assembly, a delivery sheath capsule and a handle maintaining a first actuator and a second actuator. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the prosthetic heart valve over the inner shaft assembly. The first actuator is operated to proximally retract the delivery sheath capsule and expose the prosthetic heart valve relative to the capsule. The second actuator is operated to proximally retract the prosthetic heart valve by transmitting forces to the inner shaft assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a stented prosthetic heart valve, the system comprising: an inner shaft assembly including an intermediate portion providing a coupling structure configured to selectively engage a prosthetic heart valve; a delivery sheath assembly slidably disposed over the inner shaft assembly, the delivery sheath assembly including a tubular capsule and a delivery shaft, wherein the capsule extends from a distal end of the…
