<p>A method and apparatus (10) for making an anastomosis between a tubular duct (12) and a vessel (16) has an annulus (18) having a longitudinal axis (20), a first set of fingers (24) and a second set of fingers (26). The first set of fingers (24) extend axially from the annulus (18) in one direction and the second set of fingers (26) extend axially from the annulus (18) in another direction generally opposite the direction of the first set of fingers (24). The first and second sets of fingers (24, 26) are movable to penetrate the tubular duct (12) and the vessel (16), respectively, as they move from a biased configuration to an unbiased configuration.</p> |
