Abstract

A vessel lies adjacent heart tissue, and a restriction in the vessel is bypassed. A chamber in the heart is accessed and a lumen is formed through the heart tissue which communicates with the vessel and a region distal to the restriction. Blood flows from the heart chamber into the vessel distal the restriction, thus bypassing the restriction.
