ABSTRACT:
A temporary stent and method for vascular anastomosis are disclosed. The method comprises placing, in a vessel to be anastomosed, a stent comprising a biocompatible material; applying staples to anastomose the vessel; and converting the stent material into a liquid that is miscible with blood by melting with warmed saline or pulsed radiation. Also disclosed is a method and composition for delivery of a drug that prevents thrombus formation and/or intimal hyperplasia at the anastomosis.
