Abstract:
A method and system for implanting and repositioning an implantable device for a native valve of a patient's heart includes a delivery catheter, a collar, a coupler, and an actuation element. The actuation element extends through the delivery catheter and attaches to the device to open the device. The collar is connected to the device and the coupler is connected to the delivery catheter. The collar and coupler are tied together via one or more coupling tethers which can be used to reengage the device after an initial deployment.
