Abstract: A delivery system and a method for deploying a cardiovascular prosthetic implant using a minimally invasive procedure are disclosed. The delivery system comprises an introducer catheter, a delivery catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, and a seal assembly, wherein an outer diameter of the distal end of the delivery catheter is greater than an inner diameter of the distal end of the introducer catheter.

Abstract: A delivery catheter and a method for deploying a cardiovascular prosthetic implant using a minimally invasive procedure are disclosed. The delivery catheter comprises an elongate, flexible catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end has an outer diameter of 18 French or less, a cardiovascular prosthetic implant at the distal end of the catheter body, wherein the cardiovascular prosthetic implant comprises an inflatable cuff and a tissue valve coupled to the inflatable cuff, and at least one link between the catheter body and the cardiovascular prosthetic implant.

Abstract: The disclosure includes an arrangement for a handle for a catheter system that includes a first member and a second member. The handle can include a screw member positioned within the handle and configured for rotation about an axis. The screw member can include an internal thread. A carriage can be positioned within the screw member. The carriage can engage the internal thread and can be coupled to the first member. An alignment member can extend within the screw member to limit rotation of the carriage about the axis as the screw member is rotated. Rotation of the screw member in a first direction about the axis can cause the carriage to move in a first longitudinal direction within the screw member causing the first member to move in the first longitudinal direction relative to the handle.
