Implementations of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for anastomosing vascular systems in medical procedures.

The coupling devices may be capable of hermaphroditically connecting to one another to provide a simple and secure connection which promotes growth of the vessels between the bio-absorbable coupling devices.
