26. A left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion clip delivery and recapture system for an LAA exclusion clip having a pair of struts each with a respective recapture interface at a proximal end thereof, the system comprising:
an LAA clip delivery and recapture device comprising:
a handle portion comprising a distal end and a jaw control; and
an end effector at the distal end of the handle portion and comprising:
a clevis;
first and second jaws, both of the first and second jaws pivotably connected to the clevis and connected to the jaw control such that, activation of the jaw control actively articulates the first and second jaws with respect to each other; and
first and second clip recapture connectors:
respectively connected to one of the first and second jaws; and
having respective longitudinal lengths different from one another to define a long recapture connector and a short recapture connector.
