摘要：
An assembly (200) for collapsing a prosthetic heart valve includes a compression member (202) and a pusher member (204). The compression member has a first open (208) end with a first diameter, a second open (210) end with a second diameter less than the first diameter, and a tapered wall (206) between the first open end and the second open end. The pusher member (204) has a base (232) adapted to engage an end of the valve. The pusher member and the compression member are movable relative to one another between an initial position in which the base of the pusher member is relatively far from the first open end of the compression member and an operative position in which the base of the pusher member is relatively close to the first open end of the compression member. Movement of the pusher and compression members from the initial position to the operative position radially compresses the valve.
