TRANSCAVAL VENTURI

Abstract:

A device may provide a fluid connection between fluid vessels, such as between an inferior vena cava and an abdominal aorta. The device may include a conduit structure for deployment in a first fluid vessel or a shunt structure for deployment within a passage between the first fluid vessel and a second fluid vessel that is adjacent to the first fluid vessel. The conduit structure may include a narrowed section to which the shunt structure is secured and in fluid connection therewith.
