Abstract
A method of manipulating tissue at a vessel includes advancing a device distally relative to an opening at an interior surface of the vessel, and into a first wall portion of a vessel until an entirety of the device is within the wall of the vessel, the device having a distal end, a proximal end, and a cutting element coupled to the proximal end, and using the cutting element to increase a size of the opening by retracting the device proximally.
