Shunt device

A shunt device that is manipulable between a collapsed configuration and a shunt configuration, the shunt device comprising:

• a shunt frame assembly that includes:
• a first anchor at a first end of the shunt frame assembly that is configured to flare from the collapsed configuration toward the shunt configuration, and
• a second anchor at a second end of the shunt frame assembly that is configured to flare from the collapsed configuration toward the shunt configuration, wherein the second anchor defines a proximal opening of the shunt device in the shunt configuration,
• wherein the first anchor and second anchor define a common central axis;
• and
• a flow director that extends distally from the shunt frame assembly and defines a fluid passageway and a distal opening at an end of the fluid passageway,
• wherein in the shunt configuration, the shunt device is configured to receive fluid through the proximal opening, convey the fluid through the fluid passageway, and discharge the fluid through the distal opening, and
• wherein the flow director is configured to redirect at least some fluid flowing through the fluid passageway such that the at least some fluid is discharged through the distal opening in a fluid direction transverse to the central axis.
