Specifically, the delivery system includes a delivery sheath, a delivery catheter, and a flexible or a rigid implant retention mechanism. The flexible implant retention mechanism includes an implant retention string having a fixed end and a free end where the free end extends from the fixed end, crosses a retention outlet of an implant, and extends proximally through a lumen of the delivery sheath. The rigid implant retention mechanism includes an implant retention wire having a fixed end and a free end where the free end extends from the fixed end, crosses a retention outlet of an implant, and extends proximally through a lumen of the delivery sheath.
