Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed for an elongated introducer assembly and an elongated guidewire assembly. The elongated introducer assembly is manipulated and positioned proximate to a first biological wall. An elongated guidewire assembly is selectively maneuvered along the elongated introducer assembly and is comprised of a distal tip, distal portion, and elongated shaft section. The distal portion is further comprised of a flexible preset spatial geometry which comprises a distal length and distal deflective portion. The distal tip is used to puncture the first biological wall and the distal deflective portion directs the distal length away from a second biological wall positioned proximate to the first biological wall.
