ABSTRACT:
An anastomosis apparatus includes a first rigid element and a second rigid element. The first element defines a first passageway or lumen which extends along its entire length. In construction the first element includes a first tubular portion in association with a first flange disposed on one end of the first tubular portion. The first flange is fixedly secured to the first tubular portion. The second element defines a second passageway along its entire length which is dimensioned to slidably receive and retain the first tubular portion. The second element includes a second tubular portion in association with a second flange disposed on a proximal end of the second tubular portion. An engagement of the first element with the second element about an opening defined in the blood vessel of a patient results in a fixed spatial relationship of the first element relative to the second element whereby the first passageway is retained in a generally fixed spatial relationship with the lumen of the aforesaid blood vessel.
