<p>An anastomosis system comprises two tubular vessel holding members, each tubular vessel holding member having a proximal end, a distal end having a radially extending flange structure, and a lumen, and a stapling tool. The stapling tool has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end comprises a circular or semicircular structure capable of stapling in a circular or semi-circular pattern. In a method for using the system to anastomose two vessels or tubular organs, a distal portion of a first vessel or tubular organ is advanced through the lumen of a first tubular vessel holding member, the distal portion of the first vessel or tubular organ is everted over the distal flange member of the first tubular vessel holding member; and a distal portion of a second vessel or tubular organ is advanced through the lumen of a second tubular vessel holding member.</p> |
