Abstract:
A method of diverting fluid flow from a first vessel including an occlusion to a second vessel includes deploying a prosthesis at least partially in a fistula and making valves in the second vessel incompetent. Making the valves in the second vessel incompetent includes at least one of using a reverse valvulotome to cut the valves, inflating a balloon, expanding a stent, and lining the second vessel with a stent.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of modifying a vessel including covering collateral vessels of the vessel, the method comprising:\n forming a fistula between a first vessel and the vessel, wherein forming the fistula comprises:\n inserting a catheter into the first vessel, the catheter comprising a needle configured to radially extend from the catheter, and \n extending the needle from the catheter, wherein extending the needle comprises exiting the first vessel, traversing interstitial tissue between the first vessel and the vessel, and entering the vessel; \n deploying a prosthesis at least partially in a fistula between the first vessel and the vessel, wherein after deploying the prosthesis, blood is diverted from the first vessel to the vessel through the prosthesis; and placing a stent-graft in the vessel, wherein placing the stent-graft in the vessel comprises:\n expanding the stent-graft, and \n covering the collateral vessels of the vessel.
