1. A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a stented prosthetic heart valve, the system comprising:

  • an inner shaft assembly including an intermediate portion providing a coupling structure configured to selectively engage a prosthetic heart valve;

    a delivery sheath capsule slidably disposed over the inner shaft assembly and configured to compressively contain a prosthetic heart valve engaged with the coupling structure; and

    a handle coupled to the inner shaft assembly and the delivery sheath capsule, the handle maintaining a first actuator selectively applying forces to the distal sheath capsule and a second actuator selectively applying forces to the inner shaft assembly to retract the prosthetic heart valve and promote recapture of the prosthetic heart valve within the delivery system.
