Publication number: 20250281727Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices and establishing fluid communication between body lumens. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for establishing a controlled flow or access passage between body lumens. For example, a device may include an elongate tubular body defining a lumen along a length thereof. The elongate tubular body may have an unexpanded configuration and an expanded configuration. In the expanded configuration, a proximal portion of the elongate tubular body may expand into a proximal retention member and a distal portion of the elongate tubular body may expand into a distal retention member, leaving a cylindrical saddle region extending therebetween. The cylindrical saddle region may include a constricted portion configured to move between a first diameter configuration and a second diameter configuration larger than the first diameter configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2025Publication date: September 11, 2025Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Michael Walsh, Javier Palomar-Moreno, Martyn G. Folan, Emma J. Mooney, Shane Moylan, Thomas Holly, David Hegarty, Darren Curran
