ABSTRACT:
A tubular anvil sleeve is defined by at least two sleeve portions pivoted to each other for movement about an axis radially outwardly offset from an axis of the tubular anvil sleeve in its closed position. A tubular graft is inserted into the tubular anvil sleeve and a projecting end portion of the graft is folded over an exterior of the tubular annular sleeve. The tubular annular sleeve and the overfolded portion of the graft is inserted into an excised end of a blood vessel after which staples are ejected in a conventional manner. The tubular annular sleeve is removed by axial motion followed by relatively pivoting the sleeve portions about the pivot axis of the sleeve portions to open the tubular annular sleeve and effect the withdrawal/removal thereof.
