More Information
Summary:Delivery devices and methods for percutaneously delivering a prosthetic valve to the heart of a patient. These prosthetic valves may be configured to provide complimentary features that promote optimal placement of the prosthetic valve in a native heart valve, such as the aortic valve, mitral valve, pulmonic valve, and/or tricuspid valve. The delivery device includes a release sheath (154) assembly housed within an outer delivery sheath (52). A release sheath component of the assembly captures a portion of the prosthetic valve (32) to the delivery device, and effectuates complete release of the prosthetic valve with retraction of- the outer sheath. L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés de pose pour poser par voie percutanée une valve prothétique sur le coeur d'un patient. Ces valves prothétiques peuvent être configurées pour offrir des caractéristiques complémentaires qui favorisent un placement optimal de la valve prothétique dans une valve cardiaque naturelle, telle que la valve aortique, la valve mitrale, la valve pulmonaire et/ou la valve tricuspide. Le dispositif de pose comprend un ensemble gaine de libération (154) logé dans une gaine de pose externe (52). Un composant de gaine de libération de l'ensemble capture une partie de la valve prothétique (32) pour le dispositif de pose et effectue une libération totale de la valve prothétique avec une rétraction de la gaine externe.
