Patent ID: 8162905

Claim:
A delivery system comprising: a first catheter shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end having a hub component having at least first and second proximal end openings, the distal end having at least one opening, and a single lumen extending from the distal end opening to the proximal end; a second catheter shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, at least a portion being located within the first catheter shaft lumen and extending from the first proximal end opening of the hub component to the distal end opening of the first catheter shaft, the second catheter shaft having a lumen extending from a distal end opening to at least a side opening in the second catheter shaft located between the distal end and the proximal end of the second catheter shaft, the second catheter shaft further comprising a floating connector located at the proximal end thereof; a third catheter shaft having a proximal end and a distal end and being located within the second catheter lumen, extending from the distal end opening to the side opening of the second catheter shaft, exiting through the side opening of the second catheter shaft and extending proximally therefrom and exiting through the second proximal end opening of the hub component; the first catheter shaft, the second catheter shaft, and the third catheter shaft being in a substantially coaxial relationship at the distal end of the first catheter shaft; the first proximal end of the hub component and the second catheter shaft being in a substantially coaxial relationship at the first proximal end opening of the hub component; the second proximal end of the hub component and the third catheter shaft being in a substantially coaxial relationship at the second proximal end opening of the hub component, and further comprising a septal occluding device, which can be deployed by translating the third and second catheters relative to the first catheter, in a series of push-pull motions.
