    摘要: A delivery apparatus includes a dock sleeve having a body portion and a tip portion located at a distal end of the body portion and configured to be axially movable relative to a docking device. The body portion includes a lumen configured to receive the docking device therein. The tip portion one or more flaps that are movable between a radially collapsed state and a radially expanded state. In the radially collapsed state, the one or more flaps cover a distal end of the docking device and confine the docking device within the lumen of the body portion. In the radially expanded state, the one or more flaps allow the distal end of the docking device to extend distally from the lumen of the body portion and beyond the tip portion such that the distal end of the docking device is uncovered by the dock sleeve.
