Abstract
There is provided a method of treating a patient, comprising: delivering a self-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) over a guidewire in a contracted state and within a sheath to a first anatomical location within a heart of the patient, moving the THV relative to the sheath for partially self-expanding a portion of the THV within the first anatomical location, wherein a portion of the THV in the sheath remains in the contracted state and the THV is partially self-expanded, and refraining from moving the partially self-expanded THV, relative to the aortic annulus of the heart.
