According to one aspect of the disclosure, a delivery device may include a handle, a catheter sheath extending distally from the handle, and a hemostasis valve positioned within the handle. The hemostasis valve may be located proximal the catheter sheath and distal to a proximal end of the handle. The delivery device may also include a hemostasis bypass assembly coupled to the handle. The hemostasis bypass assembly may include a bypass tube coupled to an actuator. The actuator may be configured to be transitioned between a first condition in which a distal end of the bypass tube is positioned proximal to the hemostasis valve and the hemostasis valve is closed, and a second condition in which the distal end of the bypass tube traverses the hemostasis valve and the hemostasis valve is opened.
