Abstract:
Systems and methods for implanting an endovascular shunt in a patient is disclosed. The system having an expandable anchor configured for being deployed in a dural venous sinus of a patient at a location distal to a curved portion of a wall of an inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) of the patient; an elongate guide member coupled to, and extending proximally from, the anchor; a shunt delivery catheter having a first lumen configured to receive the guide member, and a second lumen extending between respective proximal and distal openings in the shunt delivery catheter, the shunt delivery catheter further having a penetrating element coupled to a distal end of the catheter; and the system further having a guard at least partially disposed over, and movable relative to, the penetrating element.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for deploying an implant in a patient, comprising:\n an expandable anchor configured for being deployed in a dural venous sinus of a patient at a location distal to a curved portion of a wall of an inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) of the patient; an elongate guide member coupled to, and extending proximally from, the anchor; a delivery catheter comprising a first lumen configured to receive the guide member, and a second lumen extending between respective proximal and distal openings in the delivery catheter, a penetrating element coupled to a distal end of the delivery catheter; and a guard at least partially disposed over, and movable relative to, the penetrating element, wherein the guard comprises a tubular guard body having a first guard body lumen or recess configured to receive the penetrating element, and a pull wire having a distal portion attached to the guard body, wherein the pull wire is configured to translate the guard body proximally or distally relative to the delivery catheter so as to at least partially expose or cover, respectively, the penetrating element.
