A delivery device for a prosthetic mitral valve includes five sheaths and a handle. The first sheath is coupled to a first handle portion and is rotatable and bendable. The second sheath is coupled to a second handle portion and extends through the first sheath. The second sheath is bendable, rotatable and translatable relative to the first sheath. The third sheath is coupled to a third handle portion and extends through the first and second sheaths. The third sheath is translatable relative to the second sheath. The second handle portion is coupled to the first and third handle portions. The fourth sheath extends through the third sheath and forms part of a compartment to store the prosthetic valve. The fifth sheath extends through the fourth sheath to a tip and is coupled to a retaining sheath that closes the compartment to retain the valve in a collapsed condition.

Transseptal mitral valve delivery system

A delivery device and method for deploying a stent-graft within a body lumen of a patient are provided. According to one embodiment, the delivery device includes a tubular member lock that couples an outer tubular member of the device with an inner tubular member, such that as the outer tubular member is retracted to deploy the stent-graft, the distal-most end of the delivery device is also retracted. In one embodiment, the delivery device also includes a stent lock disposed on an intermediate tubular member that is configured to releasably couple the stent-graft and the intermediate tubular member. The inner tubular member and the outer tubular member are configured to be coupled to one another such that movement of the outer tubular member results in movement of the inner tubular member with respect to the intermediate tubular member so as to deploy the stent-graft.
