Abstract:
Methods for treating hydrocephalus using a shunt, the shunt having one or more CSF intake openings in a distal portion, a valve disposed in a proximal portion of the shunt, and a lumen extending between the one or more CSF intake openings and the valve, the method comprises deploying the shunt in a body of a patient so that the distal portion of the shunt is at least partially disposed within a CP angle cistern, a body of the shunt is at least partially disposed within an IPS of the patient, and the proximal portion of the shunt is at least partially disposed within or proximate to a JV of the patient, wherein, after deployment of the shunt, CSF flows from the CP angle cistern to the JV via the shunt lumen at a flow rate in a range of 5 ml per hour to 15 ml per hour.

Claim (Index 5):
The system of  claim 1 , the delivery system further comprising a delivery catheter having a tissue penetrating distal tip, a delivery catheter lumen, and an open distal end in communication with the delivery catheter lumen, wherein the delivery catheter lumen is configured to carry the implant through a passage of the venous system of the patient for deployment in the anastomosis.
