Abstract: Embodiments of a delivery apparatus for implanting a prosthetic valve are disclosed. The delivery apparatus can include a handle, a first shaft extending from a distal end of the handle, a second shaft extending through a lumen of the first shaft and the handle, and a gripper located proximal to a proximal end of the handle. A proximal end of the second shaft can be connected to the gripper, and the gripper can be axially moveable relative to the handle such that axial movement of the gripper causes corresponding axial movement of the second shaft relative to the first shaft. The gripper can have a bottom surface that is substantially coplanar with a bottom surface of the handle.
