STEERABLE DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

The disclosure pertains to a delivery system for delivering a left atrial appendage treatment device or the like to a left atrium and methods of use therefor. The delivery system includes a control housing containing a differential displacement mechanism adapted to manipulate the distal end of an elongate steerable catheter through differential displacement of control elements attached proximate the distal end of the elongate steerable catheter. The elongate steerable catheter includes a stiff proximal region, a somewhat more flexible curved intermediate region and a more flexible distal region adapted to be displaced from the plane of the second curved region.
