Abstract
A radiopaque anchor and delivery device system may comprise a pigtail catheter and a radiopaque anchor. The pigtail catheter may be a dual lumen catheter configured to deploy the radiopaque anchor and delivery a radiopaque fluid or contrast agent. The implantable radiopaque anchor may be slidably disposed within and deployable from a lumen of the elongate shaft. A method for deploying an implantable radiopaque anchor may include advancing a pigtail catheter through the vasculature to a target location; identifying an implant location; forming a channel in a tissue at the implant location; and deploying an implantable radiopaque anchor within the channel.
