ABSTRACT:
A method for using a surgical device for joining two blood vessels and creating a passageway therebetween is provided. The surgical device has an implement on the distal end which includes a first member and a second member. The first member is inserted into a first opening of a first blood vessel, such as a graft vessel. The second member is inserted into a second opening of a second blood vessel, such as the coronary artery. The surgical device is activated to draw together the first and second members, bringing together the first and second blood vessels. A work portion of the surgical device is actuated to perform a function, which comprises joining the blood vessels together with at least two joining lines and creating a longitudinal cut between the joining lines. The first and second members of the surgical device are then removed, and the first and second openings are closed.
