1. A method for improving blood flow in a vessel comprising:

  • advancing a first catheter into a first vessel proximal to an occlusion in the first vessel, wherein the first catheter comprises a fistula-forming element;

    advancing a second catheter into a second vessel, wherein the second vessel is adjacent to the first vessel; and

    forming a fistula between the first vessel and a second vessel using the fistula-forming element, wherein the fistula allows blood to flow past the occlusion through the second vessel.
