Abstract
A heart valve prosthesis delivery system can include a first sheath, a second sheath, a check valve, a check valve control lines, and a heart valve prosthesis carried within the first sheath or the second sheath. The check valve can be carried within the first sheath or the second sheath. The check valve has a check valve frame and a cover component, and the check valve control lines can be coupled to the check valve frame and configured to be manipulated by a physician to control release of the check valve. In use, the check valve can be configured to be deployed within the native valve structure for minimizing back flow of blood during placement of the valve prosthesis when the native valve leaflets are rendered non-functional by the presence of the delivery system.
