ABSTRACT:
A method of creating connections between blood vessels and other biological structures by the application of electromagnetic energy capable of the generation of heat and biophysical alterations in intracellular particles and particles within the edges of the biological structure as well as within the edges of the biological structure itself. The process allows for the creation of connection between biological structures without damaging the biological structures themselves.
The process comprises introducing minute particles into the edges of the biological structures to be connected. These particles are either intracellular and/or extracellular and can be introduced at the time of connection and/or prior to connection. These particles are suspended in an appropriate solution and are of a size generally having a diameter of approximately 1 micron or less and are of a material with properties such as ferromagnetic, paramagnetic or diamagnetic so as to be inductively heated when subjected to the radiation. The structures are then exposed to a source of electromagnetic radiation to inductively heat the particles sufficient to connect the biological structures without harming the biological structures.
