Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A medical device for puncturing tissue at a tissue site is disclosed. The medical device comprises an elongate member having a proximal section, a distal section, and a rail section between the proximal and distal sections. An active tip is provided at a distal end of the distal section, the active tip is operable to deliver energy to create a puncture through the tissue. The rail section is configured to both act as a rail for supporting installation of one or more tubular members thereupon, as well as to be maneuverable for enabling access to the tissue site.
