Abstract
A prosthetic valve delivery apparatus can comprise a handle, an outer shaft extending distally from the handle, a gear mechanism arranged distal to the outer shaft, an input torque shaft extending distally from the handle through the outer shaft and having a distal end portion operatively connected to the gear mechanism, and a plurality of output torque shafts operatively connected to and extending distally from the gear mechanism. The gear mechanism is configured to transfer rotational motion from the input torque shaft to the plurality of output torque shafts.
