Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a delivery system for a medical device includes a flexible sheath defining a lumen having a distal end and a flexible shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A retention element and a pushing element, spaced proximally from the retention element, are disposed on the distal portion. The flexible shaft, retention element, and pushing element are disposable within the lumen. The flexible shaft is movable distally through the lumen between a stowed position and a deployed position and is movable proximally through the lumen between the deployed position and a partially deployed position with the retention element proximate to the distal end of the lumen. The retention element is configured to form with the medical device an interference fit with the flexible sheath when the flexible shaft is urged proximally from the retention position to engage the medical device with the flexible sheath.
