DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONFIRMING TISSUE CAPTURE FOR A SHUNT DEVICE

Abstract: a contrast delivery system for determining tissue capture of a shunt device includes a catheter including a lumen having a distal end, an exit hole connecting the lumen to an exterior surface of the catheter, and a side opening adjacent to the distal end of the lumen. the contrast delivery system further includes a tube slidably receivable in the lumen and configured to deliver a contrast agent, the tube including a closed distal terminal end, a first distal hole, and a proximal hole. the first distal hole and proximal hole are spaced along a length of the tube, wherein the first distal hole is disposed between the proximal hole and the closed distal terminal end. the tube is configured to slide in the lumen between a plurality of positions.
