Integrated anastomosis tool with graft vessel attachment device and cutting device

A device for forming an opening in a target vessel and delivering an implantable anastomosis device to connect a graft vessel to the target vessel, the device comprising:

• a tool body having a lumen;
• a cutting device configured to form the opening in the target vessel, the cutting device being movable at least partially within the lumen;
• and
• a graft vessel attachment device movable at least partially within the lumen for delivering the implantable anastomosis device to the target vessel to connect the graft vessel to the target vessel;
• wherein at least one member of the group consisting of the graft vessel attachment device and the cutting device is configured to move away from the axial centerline of the lumen.

An anastomosis tool for forming an opening in a target vessel and connecting a graft vessel to the target vessel, the device comprising:

• a tool body having an aperture at a distal end thereof;
• a cutting device positioned at least partially in the tool body and having a distal end configured to form the opening in the target vessel, at least the distal end of the cutting device movable through the aperture;
• and
• a graft vessel attachment device positioned at least partially in the tool body and having a distal end configured to connect the graft vessel to the target vessel, at least the distal end of the graft vessel attachment device movable through the aperture;
• wherein the cutting device is movable substantially along a first direction and the graft vessel attachment device is movable along a second direction substantially non-parallel to the first direction.

A device for forming an opening in a target vessel, delivering an implantable anastomosis device to the target vessel, and connecting a graft vessel to the target vessel, the device comprising:

• a cutting device configured to form the opening in the target vessel;
• and
• a graft vessel attachment device configured to deliver and deploy the implantable anastomosis device to connect the graft vessel and the target vessel;
• wherein the cutting device and the graft vessel attachment device are mechanically linked to sequentially pass the cutting device and the graft vessel attachment device through a particular point in proximity to an anastomosis site.

An anastomosis tool for forming an opening in a target vessel and connecting a graft vessel to the target vessel, the device comprising:

• a tool body;
• a cutting device movably attached to the tool body and configured to form an opening in the target vessel;
• and
• a graft vessel attachment device movably attached to tool body and configured to connect the graft vessel to the target vessel, wherein the cutting device is movable along a first path and the graft vessel attachment device is movable along a second path non-parallel to the first path.
