DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR AIDED REPLACMENT VALVE RECAPTURE AND REPOSITIONING POST-DEPLOYMENT

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a delivery system which can be used to recapture and/or reposition a replacement valve, such as a replacement mitral valve, after initial deployment of the valve. Embodiments of the disclosure can use the crimping/tensioning of sutures in order to re-crimp the replacement valve after release, though longitudinal or rotational forces.
