A delivery system for side-delivery of a prosthetic valve includes a compression device defining a lumen having a first perimeter at a proximal end that is larger than a second perimeter of the lumen at a distal end. A loading device is coupleable to the compression device and defines a lumen having substantially the second perimeter. A distal end of the loading device includes a first gate that is movable between an open state and a closed state to at least partially occlude the lumen of the loading device.

Delivery and retrieval devices and methods for side-deliverable transcatheter prosthetic valves

The invention relates to a transcatheter heart valve replacement (A61F2/2412), and in particular a device and method for percutaneous annular plication, as a replacement device for a heart valve, whereby the prosthesis has an atrial annular flange or cuff having one or more integral plication windows connected to a pressure actuated flow control member extending into the ventricle, wherein the is a reciprocating mechanical member that is compressed by pressurized working fluid within the heart during ventricular systole.
