Abstract

See full text

A delivery catheter and method for delivering and deploying an implantable medical device include a mechanical latch by which the device can remain firmly attached at a single point of connection to the delivery catheter during deployment of the device. The delivery catheter provides simple yet firm control of the release mechanism to enable the clinician to confirm the accuracy of the deployment before releasing the tether or, if the placement of the device should be corrected, the tether can be maintained while the device is recaptured and repositioned or removed from the patient.
