ABSTRACT:
A tissue everting apparatus includes at least one elongated frame, at least one actuator slidably mounted to the frame and longitudinally movable between proximal and distal positions, a tissue everting bulbous tip, and at least two prongs which are laterally movable between open and closed positions. The bulbous tissue everting tip is positioned, for example, in the lumen of a vascular segment to evert the edge and the prong is closed to capture the everted edge of the vascular segment. The edge of a second vascular segment is everted and captured in a similar manner with the edges being brought together to form a flange-like structure to which one or more surgical clips may be applied to fasten the segments together.
