• a catheter comprising:
• a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end;
• a blunt dissection tip disposed at the distal end of the shaft, the blunt dissection tip having a side aperture and a slot;
• a departure angle guide tube configured to extend out the side aperture of the blunt dissection tip to set a departure angle, in a departure angle plane;
• a handle coupled to the proximal end of said shaft, wherein said handle rotates said blunt dissection tip and said slot and indicates and defines a rotational position of the departure angle plane;
• a needle wire having a sharp dissection tip, said needle wire configured to extend through the departure angle guide tube, said needle wire having a sharp dissection tip permitting it to track in a substantially straight line from said departure angle guide tube.
