Abstract
A device for providing a passage between a first and second heart chamber is provided. The device includes a middle region having first and second ends, a lumen extending therethrough having a longitudinal axis, a first end region coupled to the first end, and a second end region coupled to the second end. The first end region may be delivered in the first heart chamber in a compressed state and transitioned to a deployed state, the first end region being deformable such that portions of the first end region are expandable to different angles relative to the longitudinal axis. The second end region may be delivered in the second heart chamber in a compressed state and transitioned to a deployed state therein, the second end region being deformable such that portions of the second end region are expandable to different angles relative to the longitudinal axis.
