ANASTOMOSIS STAPLING/CLIPPING DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

An apparatus for performing anastomosis procedures comprises of an end- effector to engage a lumen for attaching a tubular structure to said lumen to create a connective branch or an anastomosis. The apparatus includes a contractible and expandable member coupled to the end-effector to secure engagement of the end- effector with the lumen. A pair of wedge members operates to deploy a staple to attach the tubular structure to the lumen. The pair of wedge members operates in opposing directions to deploy the staple.
