TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRATED IMAGER

摘要

A transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) delivery system (100) includes a sheath (110), a replacement valve assembly (120) disposed within a distal end of the sheath, and a nose cone (105) proximate the distal end of the sheath (104). A forward section of the nose cone is configured to facilitate passage of the nose cone through the heart valve. The rear section of the nose cone comprises an imager (205).
