  • Publication number: 20240335198
    Abstract: A vascular anastomotic coupling device includes, for each of two vessels prepared for anastomosis, an inner ring sized to slide over an outer diameter of one of the two vessels. An outer ring is configured to trap an everted portion of the one of the two vessels between itself and the inner ring. Interface features on the inner ring and outer ring are configured to trap and hold the everted portion of the one of the two vessels between them and fix a position of the inner ring and outer ring with respect to each other. A connection interface on the outer ring is configured, when mounted on the one of the two vessels, to join with the outer ring of the other of the two vessels to join the two vessels and complete anastomosis of the two vessels.
