SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEART VALVE THERAPY
First Claim
1. A deployment frame system for controlling relative movements of a system of multiple catheters wherein at least one catheter of the multiple catheters is configured to deliver a medical device, the deployment frame system comprising:
- a plurality of clamps, each of the clamps configured to releasably clamp a proximal end portion of a respective catheter of the multiple catheters;
a first frame, wherein at least one of the clamps is releasably coupled with the first frame; and
a second frame, wherein at least two of the clamps is releasably coupled with the second frame.

Abstract
Prosthetic heart valves described herein can be deployed using a transcatheter delivery system and technique to interface and anchor in cooperation with the anatomical structures of a native heart valve. Deployment systems and methods for using the deployment systems described herein facilitate accurately and conveniently controllable percutaneous, transcatheter techniques by which the prosthetic heart valves can be delivered and deployed within a patient.
