Disclosed herein are embodiments of a delivery system which can be used to recapture and/or reposition a replacement valve, such as a replacement mitral valve, after initial deployment of the valve. Embodiments of the delivery system can involve a torqueing manifold that interacts with multiple tethers that are releasably coupled to eyelets of a replacement heart valve. Engagement pins may be configured to releasably retain one end of the tethers.

Delivery system for aided replacement valve recapture and repositioning post-deployment

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a delivery system which can be used to recapture and/or reposition a replacement valve, such as a replacement mitral valve, after initial deployment of the valve. Embodiments of the disclosure can use the crimping/tensioning of sutures in order to re-crimp the replacement valve after release, though longitudinal or rotational forces.
