Abstract
Apparatus for puncturing a fossa ovalis includes a catheter shaped so as to define a central catheter lumen open through a catheter distal end opening. An angle between (i) a first line running between first and second lateral openings defined by the catheter and (ii) a second line that is parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the catheter when the catheter is straight, is between 30 and 150 degrees. A flexible longitudinal member passes (a) from a proximal portion of the catheter to a distal portion of the catheter, (b) out of the first lateral opening, and (c) into the second lateral opening, so as to form a loop outside the catheter. The flexible longitudinal member is configured to assume a deployment configuration in which a distal-most portion of the loop is curved and is distal to the catheter distal end opening. Other embodiments are also described.
