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 1):
A method for regulating blood volume distribution across a patient's interatrial septum between the 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, a neck region joining the first region to the second region; transitioning the anchor from the contracted delivery state to an expanded deployed state in which the first region extends into the patient's left atrium, the second region extends into the patient's right atrium, and the neck region engages the interatrial septum; and shunting blood through a lumen of a conduit affixed to the anchor, the conduit comprising a first end that extends from the neck region a first distance of at least 3 mm into the patient's left atrium and a second end that extends from the neck region a second distance of at least 3 mm into the patient's right atrium, thereby preventing pannus formation from narrowing the lumen in the neck region, wherein the lumen of the conduit is defined by a lumen wall, the lumen wall resistant to transmural tissue growth.
