    Abstract: A transcatheter heart valve delivery assembly includes a first shaft portion including a first wall surrounding a first chamber. A second shaft portion is attached to a distal end of the first shaft portion and includes a second wall surrounding a second chamber. A funnel portion is attached to a distal end of the second shaft portion and includes a funnel wall surrounding a funnel chamber. The funnel portion moves between a radially-compressed position, in which the funnel chamber includes a first diameter that is less than or equal to a diameter of the second chamber, and a radially-expanded position, in which the funnel chamber includes a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter. The funnel portion is biased into the radially-compressed position. Methods of recapturing a heart valve prosthesis are provided.

    Abstract: A system includes an inflow loading assembly configured to compress an inflow portion of the implantable medical device as the implantable medical device is advanced through the inflow loading assembly. The system also includes an outflow loading assembly removably coupled to the inflow loading assembly. The outflow loading assembly is configured to partially compress an outflow portion of the implantable medical device during coupling to the inflow loading assembly. The inflow loading assembly includes one or more biasing features that are configured to asymmetrically compress the inflow portion of the implantable medical device.
