Zusammenfassung:	A delivery system (100) for delivering a collapsible prosthetic heart valve includes a body (120) extending in a longitudinal direction and a sheath (130) slidable relative to the body. A compartment (155) is defined inside the sheath and is adapted to receive the collapsible prosthetic heart valve in a collapsed condition. The system includes an articulating joint having a first portion operatively connected to the compartment and a second portion operatively connected to the body. The first portion is pivotable relative to the second position so as to pivot the sheath from a first orientation extending in the longitudinal direction to a second orientation extending transverse to the longitudinal direction.
