A delivery system including a distal capture device that has a sleeve with apassagewaydefined axially therethrough and one or more elastically deformable sections.Each of theone or more elastically deformable sections has a free terminating end and anoppositeend mounted to the distal end of the sleeve. The elastically deformablesectionstransition between: (i) a fully expanded state in which the elasticallydeformable sectionis distally biased in a direction away from the sleeve； and (ii) a retractedstate in whichthe free terminating end of each of the elastically deformable sections isproximallydeflected backwards over itself in a direction toward the proximal end of thesleeve.
