Patent abstract
Stented prosthetic heart valve crimping tools and methods, and transcatheter delivery systems for delivering a crimped prosthetic heart valve. Methods of the present disclosure include crimping or compressing a stented prosthetic heart valve via spherical compression to a spherically compressed shape, and then delivering the so-shaped prosthesis to a target site. Delivery systems carrying a spherically-compressed prosthesis have a reduced length profile as compared to conventional, elongated configurations, providing increased maneuverability and positioning.
