Abstract
A delivery system for endoluminal delivery of an expandable device comprising a catheter having a proximal end and an opposite distal end configured to support an expandable device, a primary sheath having a delivery position in which the primary sheath constrains the expandable device toward a collapsed configuration suitable for endoluminal delivery, and a handle including a first actuator that is actuatable to cause the expandable device to expand from the collapsed configuration, the handle further including a second actuator for operating one or more functions of the handle, wherein the second actuator is initially hidden to prevent actuation of the second actuator prior to the expandable device expanding and is configured to be revealed when the expandable device is expanded, the second actuator being actuatable once revealed.
