Latest Patents
Nguyen holds a patent for "Methods, devices and apparatus for performing a vascular anastomosis." This patent describes various methods, devices, apparatuses, assemblies, and kits designed for performing vascular anastomosis. The device includes tissue engaging portions that can transition between at least two configurations. In certain embodiments, these portions move without the aid of moving parts, while in others, they extend from one or more movable wings. The tissue engaging portions can be separated by a first distance in a pre-deployment configuration and by a second distance in a deployed configuration. The method involves engaging multiple tissue engaging members of a coupling device against first end tissue. After selectively engaging the tissue members and first end tissue, the first end tissue is stretched by moving the tissue engaging members. This stretched first end tissue is then coupled to the second end tissue by mating the coupling device to a mating anastomosis device. Lam Nguyen holds 1 patent.
