Abstract

A delivery system for a prosthetic valve device includes a first shaft including an outflow capture device mounted on a distal end thereof, a second shaft slidingly disposed over the first shaft and including an inflow capture device mounted on a distal end thereof, and a retractable sheath slidingly disposed over the second shaft to hold the prosthetic valve device in a radially compressed configuration for delivery to a body lumen. The inflow capture device is configured for releasable engagement through openings in a plurality of first attachment members on the device. The outflow capture device is configured for releasable engagement through openings in a plurality of second attachment members on the device.
