Publication number: 20220330943Abstract: The present invention relates to a joining member for an anastomosis system for realizing anastomosis between first and second hollow structures, such as end-to-side anastomosis. The joining member is annular and is adapted for joining the first and second hollow structures. The joining member includes a plurality of interconnected loops forming the annular body and a plurality of joining elements for joining the hollow structures connected to the annular body at locations where adjacent loops are interconnected to each other, and wherein the loops are configured to permit radial expansion of said annular body to expand said joining member from a first position to a second position having a second, larger diameter than the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Innovative Interventional Technologies, B.V.Inventors: Paulus Thomas Wilhelmus Suyker, Wilhelmus Joseph Leonardus Suyker

Patent number: 10675034Abstract: The present invention relates to an anastomosis system for realizing anastomosis between first and second hollow structures, such as end-to-side anastomosis, by way of a joining member and an applicator. The anastomosis system comprises an annular joining member adapted for joining the first and second hollow structures, a tubular member adapted to position the joining member at or proximate to a distal end of the second hollow structure and to be at least partially inserted into the second hollow structure, a support member adapted to hold the second hollow structure and a mechanism, for actuating the joining member when positioned at or proximate to the distal end of the second hollow structure, which joining member is actuated substantially radially relative to a longitudinal axis of the tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Innovative Interventional Technologies, B.V.Inventors: Paulus Thomas Wilhelmus Suyker, Wilhelmus Joseph Leonardus Suyker

Patent number: 9675357Abstract: A method for performing a coronary artery bypass graft procedure on a patient to connect a bypass vessel to a target vessel includes the steps of creating an opening in the patient that communicates with the thoracic cavity of the patient; providing a bypass vessel having a lumen and at least one free end; passing the free end of the bypass vessel from the thoracic cavity through the opening to a position outside the body of the patient; attaching a connector to the free end of bypass vessel while the free end of the bypass vessel is outside the body of the patient; passing the free end of the bypass vessel from the position outside the body of the patient through the opening and into the thoracic cavity; and connecting the free end of the bypass vessel to a target vessel with the connector.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Innovative Interventional Technologies, B.V.Inventors: Wilhelmus Joseph Leonardus Suyker, Paulus Thomas Wilhelmus Suyker

Publication number: 20100106172Abstract: A system for making anastomoses between hollow structures by mechanical means is provided with a device in the shape of an annular or tubular element comprising circumferentially provided means, such as pin-shaped elements, for joining the abutting walls of the hollow structures together. An applicator is intended for moving said annular or tubular element in position and activating the joining means thereof, so as to make the anastomosis. Possibly, intraluminal joining means can be inserted without using an annular or tubular element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2009Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: INNOVATIVE INTERVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES B.V.Inventors: Wilhelmus Joseph Leonardus Suyker, Paulus Thomas Wilhelmus Suyker
