Abstract:
A shunt for regulating blood pressure between a patient's left atrium and right atrium comprises an anchor comprising a neck region, first and second end regions, and a conduit affixed with the anchor that formed of a biocompatible material that is resistant to transmural and translation tissue ingrowth and that reduces a risk of paradoxical embolism.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for regulating blood volume distribution between a patient's left atrium and the patient's right atrium, the method comprising:\n forming a puncture through a fossa ovalis of the interatrial septum; percutaneously delivering an anchor in a contracted delivery state through the puncture of the interatrial septum, the anchor having a first region, a second region, and a neck region disposed between the first and second regions; transitioning the anchor from the contracted delivery state to an expanded deployed state in which the first region is disposed in the patient's left atrium, the second region is disposed in the patient's right atrium, and the neck region engages a fossa ovalis of the patient's interatrial septum; and shunting blood through a lumen of a conduit affixed to the anchor, the conduit comprising an end that protrudes into the right atrium a distance sufficient to place the end out of a natural circulation flow path in the right atrium, thereby reducing a risk that thrombus entrained in the natural circulation flow path will be directed into the lumen.
