Sutureless closure and deployment system for connecting blood vessels

A tool for deploying an anastomosis device, comprising:

• first member configured to hold the anastomosis device;
• a second member, said first member and said second member threadlessly engaged with and slidable relative to one another, wherein relative motion of said first member and said second member causes deformation of the anastomosis device;
• and
• at handle connected to at least one of said first member and said second member, said handle including an clement having at least one cam slot defined therein;
• wherein said first member and said second member each connected to at least one pin, wherein the at least one pin engages at least one said cam slot, and wherein rotation of said handle about an axis causes said first member and said second member to slide relative to one another.

An anastomosis system, comprising

• a unitary anastomosis device deployable from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein said second configuration includes at least one flange;
• a first member configured to hold said unitary anastomosis device;
• a second member, said first member and said second member the thereadlessly engaged with and slidable relative to one another, wherein motion of at least part of said first member deploys at least one said flange of said unitary anastomosis device;
• and
• a handle connected to at least one of said first member and said second member, said handle including an element having at least one cam slot defined therein;
• wherein said first member and said second member each connected to at least one pin, wherein the at least one pin engages at least one said cam slot, and wherein rotation of said handle about an axis causes said first member and said second member to slide relative to one another.
