<p>This invention relates to devices and methods for sutureless-sealing of vessels. A device for coupling vessels is described which comprises: a main trunk; first and second stent-anchors associated with the main trunk; a graft extension extending from the main trunk; a bypass vessel; and an internal anchor and an external anchor. The internal anchor and the external anchor cooperate to seal the graft extension and the bypass vessel. <??>An alternative device for coupling vessels is also described which comprises: a main vessel having an end; a bypass vessel having an end; a coupling graft disposed within the main vessel end and the bypass vessel end; a main vessel internal stent-anchor configured to seal the main vessel with the coupling graft; and a bypass vessel internal stent-anchor configured to seal the bypass vessel with the coupling graft. The main vessel and the bypass vessel are held in fluid communication via the coupling graft. <IMAGE></p> |
