Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to a shunt for treating an aortic aneurysm. In some embodiments, the shunt may include a central portion, an arterial sealing structure, and a venous sealing. In some embodiments, the venous sealing structure may have a lateral length in its deployed configuration, and the arterial sealing structure having a lateral length in its deployed configuration that is greater than the lateral length of the venous sealing structure. A method of implanting the shunt may include selecting the shunt based on a lateral thickness of a thrombus formed in an aortic aneurysm determined by imaging of the aortic aneurysm. The shunt may be advanced in a delivery configuration through a venous puncture site of a vein to access an arterial puncture site of the artery, and then deployed, thereby enabling blood flow through the central portion of the shunt from the artery to the vein.
