Abstract

Apparatus and methods for replacing a heart valve within a vessel (10). The apparatus includes a replacement heart valve (20) and a plurality of commisure stabilizers (64, 66, 68) temporarily connected to the commisures of the heart valve (20) in a removable manner. A cannulating device (320) which, in a first embodiment, includes a cannula (324), a hub portion, and a retaining member (332) extending from the hub portion. In a second embodiment, a clamp (348) is coupled with the hub portion (350) and may be moved between open and closed positions to retain the vessel (342) in a sealed condition on the cannula. A temporary pacemaker lead including a wire (434) having an electrically conductive portion, a first connector portion (438) on the wire, and an electrode (430) having a second connector portion (436).
