Abstract
Bioadhesive materials and methods for adhering biological tissues and blood vessels in a minimally invasive manner, wherein the bioadhesive materials are in folded bioadhesive sleeve configurations or in injectable bioadhesive forms adapted for delivery using minimally invasive procedures. The folded bioadhesive sleeve is disposed on the distal portions of a variety of minimally invasive devices for insertion to a target tissue site, then deployed and adhered to the target tissue site through actuation of the minimally invasive device. The injectable bioadhesive is disposed in a syringe and delivered to a target site via a catheter, then adhered to the target tissue by actuation of a minimally invasive device. Precise placement and adhesion to the target tissue site can be successfully accomplished solely through the actuation of the minimally invasive devices without the use of additional devices to assist in placement or actuation of the bioadhesive materials.
