deploying an anchor in an inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) or cavernous sinus (CS) of the patient at a location distal to a curved wall portion of the IPS that separates the IPS from a cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern of the patient, wherein an elongate guide member extends proximally from the deployed anchor, through the curved portion of the IPS, to or through a location proximate to, or proximal of, a junction of the IPS and a jugular vein (JV) of the patient; and
advancing the shunt distally along, on, and/or within the guide member through the junction with the JV, into the IPS, and through a penetration site in the curved portion of the IPS wall, respectively, so that a distal portion of the shunt is disposed within the CP angle cistern, a body of the shunt is disposed within the IPS, and a proximal portion of the shunt is disposed within or proximate to the JV.
