The present invention relates to an anastomosis device. The SCREW-DEVICE, provides a device capable of anastomosing the end of a blood vessel to the side of another blood vessel(end to side) without the use of a suture. The SD is very easy to apply on the vessel wall, it takes only a few seconds to screw the SD into the vessel wall of the receptor vessel and to screw it into the donor vessel. It can be used in every surgical operation dealing with vascular problems,like anastomosis or bypass operations done in vascular surgery, heart surgery(CABG) and neurosurgery. The opening of the receptor vessel wall can be done without occlusion of the receptor vessel or with a temporary occlusion of the receptor vessel. Links:
