Abstract
A guide wire control device and methods of use are described herein. A guide wire is retained by a lock mechanism to a translating assembly within a stationary tubular structure. A rotating actuator controls the translation of the translating assembly and resulting guide wire. The guide wire control device provides improved control of guide wires and angles of a deployment capsule during transcatheter surgical procedures.
