Abstract
A method of creating intravascular access includes positioning the main body of a device within a primary vessel and manipulating a guidewire having a second alignment member to a location proximate to an inner wall of a secondary vessel. Engaging the alignment member of the distal end of the device and the second alignment member of the guidewire through the respective walls of the primary and secondary vessels, so that the device and guidewire are in close proximity and in alignment, thereby pushing the primary and secondary vessels together. Extending the piercing member distally from the main body, through the wall of the primary vessel, and through an adjacent wall of the secondary vessel, so that the end of the piercing member is disposed within the secondary vessel and thereby creating a communicating aperture on the opposing walls of the primary and secondary vessel.
