ABSTRACT:
A method of implanting a graft in a patient's body is disclosed. According to the method, a first end of the graft is anastomosed to the blood vessel at a first location which is covered by a substantially intact portion of the epidermis of the body, and a second end of the graft is anastomosed to the blood vessel at a second location which is visually exposed through a gaping surgical incision. The first end of the graft includes a flanged end portion which is guided into the blood vessel through an arteriotomy defined therein near the first location so as to be positioned substantially adjacent a portion of a sidewall of the blood vessel which substantially surrounds the arteriotomy. An expandable stent is then placed within the blood vessel and in contact with the flanged end portion so as to secure the flanged end portion of the graft between the sidewall of the blood vessel and the stent thereby securing the graft to the blood vessel. The graft is further secured to the blood vessel by suturing the flanged end portion and the stent to the sidewall of the blood vessel. The second end of the graft is secured to the blood vessel at the second location by standard surgical techniques.
