Claim Text:
1. A fistula device comprising: a generally continuous conduit configured to transport a fluid without leakage between a first vessel and a second vessel and having a proximal portion and a distal portion; a sidewall port device connected to the conduit and locatable in the proximal portion wherein the sidewall port device is configured to engage a first vessel wall about an aperture in the first vessel wall and form a seal with the first vessel wall when deployed, the sidewall port device comprising a lattice inverted onto itself to form an inner tube disposed coaxially within an outer tube; and a compliant support locatable on the distal portion and configured to expand outwardly toward inner walls of the second vessel when deployed, wherein the compliant support is sufficiently flexible and compliant to minimize radial distension of the second vessel after deployment.
