Zusammenfassung:A method of delivering and deploying a prosthetic valve includes percutaneously advancing a catheter to a treatment site, proximally retracting an outer shaft relative to an inner shaft to expose the prosthetic valve such that the prosthetic valve self-expands to a radially expanded configuration, disconnecting a tip retractor from a handle of the catheter, and proximally retracting the tip retractor to proximally retract the inner shaft and a nosecone attached to a distal end of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft and/or the handle.
