Embodiment Construction
[0200] Figure 11 An example of how trans-arterial or trans-femoral access to a patient's heart may be obtained is exemplarily shown. in accordance with Figure 11 In the illustration in , the heart valve stent 150 is advanced to the aortic valve via the femoral artery with the help of the insertion system 100-2. Embodiments of the insertion system 100-2 adapted for transarterial or transfemoral access are described below.
[0201] According to a preferred embodiment, the insertion system 100-2 has a catheter system 1 and a handle 70-2 connected to the proximal section of the catheter system 1 . As depicted, for example, in figure 1 Among them, the catheter system 1 of the preferred embodiment comprises a catheter tip 10-2 having a seat for receiving a stent inserted in its collapsed state, and a stent retainer for releasably securing the stent. Device 15. The catheter system 1 also includes a catheter shaft 30-2 for connecting the catheter tip 10-2 to the handle 70-2 of ...
