Abstract

Various methods and devices are provided for cutting an opening through tissue. In one embodiment, a tissue-penetrating device is provided and includes a flexible elongate needle shaft that has a distal end with a circumferentially extending tissue-cutting edge formed thereon. A proximal end of the elongate needle shaft interfaces with a rotary control member for selectively applying a rotary motion to the elongate needle shaft. When the rotating tissue-cutting edge is brought into contact with target tissue, the tissue-cutting edge cuts an opening through the tissue. The device may have a stylet that has a blunt end that can be adjusted to protrude out of the distal end of the elongate needle shaft out beyond the tissue-cutting edge and is biased inward into the elongate needle shaft when the blunt end is brought into contact with the tissue to expose the tissue-cutting edge to the tissue. The stylet may be used as a guide wire after the hole has been cut through the tissue. An outer sheath may be provided to selectively cover the distal end of the elongate needle shaft and blunt end of the stylet. The outer sheath may have a selectively expandable member thereon that may be used to expand the cut hole
