Summary:Abstract A method of shunting body fluid, comprising: inserting a catheter having first and second flexible tips extending from a distal end thereof and coupled to one another into a fluid-containing cavity such that fluid can flow out of the cavity through the catheter; and decoupling the first and second tips such that pulsatile flow of fluid within the cavity causes the first and second tips to strike one another, thereby dislodging obstructions from the first and second tips.
