A system for forming a fistula between two vessels, the system comprising a first catheter. The first catheter comprises a catheter shaft with a housing. The first catheter further comprises an electrode disposed at least partially within the housing, the electrode comprising a distal portion, a proximal portion and an intermediate portion therebetween for contacting a vessel wall and forming the fistula. The first catheter further comprises a plurality of teeth for cutting a venous valve, wherein the plurality of teeth extend radially from the catheter shaft and are angled in a proximal direction.

System for forming a fistula between two vessels

A connector for transfer of an implantable device from a loading tube to a delivery catheter, comprising: a first connecting portion () having a first distal end () configured to receive a delivery catheter (); a second connecting portion () having a second proximal end () configured to receive a loading tube () extending towards the first distal end, the second connecting portion movably connected to the first connecting portion; and a biasing element () connecting the first and second connecting portions, having a relaxed configuration in which the first distal end and the second proximal end are spaced apart by a predetermined distance, and configured to bias the first distal end and second proximal end to the relaxed configuration when the first distal end and second proximal end are moved apart; such that when the loading tube is received, upon receiving the delivery catheter by the first connecting portion, the loading tube is biased to the delivery catheter to form a connection for the transfer of the implantable device.

Connector for transfer of an implant to a catheter

There is provided an implant system comprising: a delivery wire assembly having a female detachment mechanism component; and an implant having a male detachment mechanism component, wherein the female detachment mechanism component comprises a coil configured to receive the male detachment mechanism component such that the male detachment mechanism component is attachable to the female detachment mechanism component.
