Embodiment Construction

[0064]The embodiments discussed herein include devices, systems, and methods useful for providing selective autoretroperfusion to the venous system. In addition, and with various embodiments of devices and systems of the present disclosure, said devices and / or systems can also be used to achieve a controlled arterialization of the venous system. For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the present disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of this disclosure is thereby intended.

[0065]The devices, systems and methods disclosed herein can be used to safely and selectively arterialize venous vessels in order to decrease the stress thereon and prevent rupture of the same. Accordingly, through the use of the devices, systems and methods disclosed herein, long-term autoretroperfusion of oxygenated...
