ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for anchoring a first conduit to a second conduit. The first conduit is typically an expandable conduit whereby at portion of the first conduit is expanded by applying a radial force thereto to provide an anchor and/or seal between the first and second conduits. An inflatable device is provided that can be used to provide a temporary anchor while the first (expandable) conduit is radially expanded. An expander device that is capable of applying a radial expansion force to the first conduit is optionally attached to the inflatable device.
