The occluder, attached to a wire via a screw connection, is pre-loaded inside a flexible polymer delivery cannula. The delivery cannula is inserted through the lumen of the catheter into the paravalvular leak. A polymer deployment tube is used to push the occluder out of the delivery cannula. Once positioned, the occluder is released by unscrewing the wire.
