Zusammenfassung:A method of percutaneously creating a fistula includes inserting percutaneously a medical instrument to a target location having a first blood vessel and a second blood vessel. A fastener is then deployed via the medical instrument to the target location. The fastener is in a first configuration before the deploying and a second configuration after the deploying. The fastener limits relative movement between the first blood vessel and the second blood vessel when in the second configuration. An anastomosis between the first blood vessel and the second blood vessel is percutaneously produced.
