A system for coupling a first space within a body of a patient with a second space within the body of the patient including a flow connector insertable into the first and second spaces within the body and having a conduit having a wall forming a lumen therein and first and second orifices. A first retention member is engageable with a first portion of the first space within the body and has a first opening, and the flow connector is positioned within the first opening. A second retention member is engageable with the second space within the body, the second retention member has a second opening and the flow connector is positioned within the second opening. The second retention member interlocks with the first retention member.

  • Appl. No: 16/542372
  • Application Filed: August 16, 2019
  • Assignees: TVA Medical, Inc. (Franklin Lakes, NJ, US)
  • Claim: 1. A method of implanting and securing an implantable flow connector in a body of a patient for providing communication of a first space within the body of the patient with a second space within the body of the patient, the method comprising: (a) inserting the proximal component of a retention device into the first space within the body to engage the first space within the body, wherein the retention device comprises the proximal component and a distal component; (b) inserting a flow connector through an opening in the proximal component so the second orifice is in fluid communication with the first space within the body, wherein the flow connector comprises a lumen having a first orifice at a first portion and a second orifice at a second portion; (c) placing the second space within the body over the distal component and flow connector either before or after step (a) or step (b), the distal component having inner engaging members positioned internal of the second space within the body and outer engaging members positioned external of the second space within the body; and (d) connecting the proximal and distal components to thereby fluidly connect the second space within the body to the first space within the body via the flow connector.
  • Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the outer engaging members provide a compression force on the second space within the body.
  • Claim: 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inner engaging members provide a radially outward force on the second space within the body.
  • Claim: 4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the inner engaging members inwardly to provide a ramp for placement of the second space within the body thereover.
  • Claim: 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of moving the outer engaging members away from a longitudinal axis of the distal component for placement of the second space within the body over the distal component and subsequently releasing the outer members to engage an external wall of the second space within the body.
  • Claim: 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second space within the body over the distal component and flow connector occurs before step (a).
  • Claim: 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second space within the body over the distal component and flow connector occurs before step (b).
  • Claim: 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the second space within the body over the distal component and flow connector occurs after step (b).
  • Claim: 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein inserting the flow connector through the opening in the proximal component further comprises placing the flow connector in a reduced profile position within a delivery member and inserting the delivery member through the opening in the proximal component.
  • Claim: 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the proximal component and the distal component has at least one locking tab and the other of the proximal component and the distal component has at least one slot.
  • Claim: 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein connecting the proximal and distal components further comprises engaging the at least one locking tab and the at least one slot.
  • Claim: 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the proximal and distal components includes the step of positioning at least a portion of the proximal component within the distal component.
  • Claim: 13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rotating the proximal and distal components relative to one another to disconnect the proximal and distal components.
  • Claim: 14. A system for coupling a first space within a body of a patient with a second space within the body of the patient, the system comprising: a flow connector having a lumen for fluid flow therethrough and configured to be positioned in both the first space and the second space within the body; a retention device comprising: a proximal component having an opening to receive the flow connector; and a distal component having a longitudinal axis and an opening configured to receive the flow connector, the distal component having inner engaging members configured to be positioned internal of the second space within the body and outer engaging members configured to be positioned external of the second space within the body.
  • Claim: 15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the inner engaging members of the distal component are movable from a first position closer the longitudinal axis to a second position at a second angle to the longitudinal axis to provide a ramped surface.
  • Claim: 16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the distal component applies a radially outward force and an external compression force on the second space within the body.
  • Claim: 17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the proximal component includes an engagement wall engageable with a slot in the distal component to interlock the proximal and distal components.
  • Claim: 18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the proximal component is positioned internal of the distal component when the proximal component is interlocked with the distal component.
  • Claim: 19. The system of claim 14 , wherein the proximal component includes a plurality of penetrating members, the penetrating members having penetrating tips which do not extend radially beyond a transverse dimension of the distal component.
  • Claim: 20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the flow connector comprises a flange that extends distally beyond the plurality of penetrating members of the proximal component into the first space of the body.
