A modular catheter system including a sheath projecting distally from a delivery catheter having a main body module An inner core module carrying a stent thereon, the inner core being axially movable through the main body of the delivery catheter and the delivery catheter sheath, a handle member supported by the main body of the delivery catheter, the handle member being selectively axially engageable with the inner core such that the handle member and the inner core move together in an axial direction when the handle member is engaged with the inner core; and an adjustment member supported by the main body, the adjustment member being configured such that rotation of the adjustment member causes the adjustment member to move axially along the main body by either axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body or by rotating the adjustment member.

Catheter system and methods of using same

A locking assembly for releasably coupling a first elongate member to a second elongate member is provided. The locking assembly can include a first lumen for anchoring the locking assembly to a catheter and a second lumen for releasably retaining a guidewire to the locking assembly. A release member can interface with the locking assembly and apply a force that decouples the guidewire from the locking assembly.

Locking assembly for coupling guidewire to delivery system

Systems and methods for sequential deployment of a prosthetic valve using a delivery catheter are described. The delivery catheter may include a deployment assembly including an end cone, a distal sleeve, a prosthetic support, an anchor sleeve and an anchor support. The delivery catheter may further include a handle having a manipulator including a guide that is connect to the deployment assembly with a force transmission tube. The guide may have various channels for interfacing with a protrusion of the handle and may be guided by the protrusion to sequentially deploy the prosthetic valve from the deployment assembly. For example, the guide may cause the distal sleeve to release a distal end of the prosthetic valve and subsequently cause an anchor support to release a proximal end of the prosthetic valve.

A modular catheter system including a sheath projecting distally from a delivery catheter having a main body module. An inner core module carrying a stent thereon, the inner core being axially movable through the main body of the delivery catheter and the delivery catheter sheath, a handle member supported by the main body of the delivery catheter, the handle member being selectively axially engageable with the inner core such that the handle member and the inner core move together in an axial direction when the handle member is engaged with the inner core; and an adjustment member supported by the main body, the adjustment member being configured such that rotation of the adjustment member causes the adjustment member to move axially along the main body by either axially sliding the handle member relative to the main body or by rotating the adjustment member.
