| 摘要 |
In accordance with the present invention there is provided an anastomosis device for attaching a first hollow vessel to a second hollow vessel. The device includes a head assembly for holding the first and second hollow vessels adjacent to each other. The head assembly having a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis therebetween. The device further includes a needle guide disposed longitudinally along the head assembly adjacent to the vessels, and a helical needle, having a suture attached to a distal end thereof, disposed within the head assembly at its proximal end. The device also includes a needle driver coupled to the head for driving the needle distally along the needle guides and through the first and second hollow vessels. The device incorporates a needle receiver removably attached to the distal end of the head distal to the needle guide. The needle receiver is for capturing the helical needle after it has passed through the needle guide.
