Abstract

See full text

A delivery assembly for delivering a prosthetic heart valve can include a first elongate component and a second elongate component. The delivery assembly can include a temporary valve location to which the prosthetic heart valve can be releasably mounted and an implantation location to which the prosthetic heart valve can also be releasable mounted. The delivery assembly can move from a delivery state with the prosthetic heart valve mounted to the temporary location to an implantation state with the prosthetic heart valve repositioned from the temporary location to the implantation location. The prosthetic heart valve can subsequently be deployed from the implantation location. The position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the temporary location is different than a position of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the first elongate component at the implantation location.
