Abstract
Systems and methods for forming an anastomosis between two adjacent walls of a digestive tract are provided. The system includes first and second magnetic implants comprising first and magnetic bodies, respectively. Each of the first and magnetic bodies comprises a tissue-oriented surface and a lumen-oriented surface, and defines a through-hole extending between the tissue-oriented surface and the lumen-oriented surface. The first and second magnetic implants are configured to magnetically couple to each other through the two adjacent walls of the digestive tract with the through-holes being at least partially superposable to each other to compress an annular portion of the two adjacent walls therebetween. The first and second magnetic implants can include various features such as being configured to selectively adopt a delivery or an anastomosis configuration, being dimensioned to maintain a preliminary passageway between the two adjacent walls within their outer periphery, being electrically insulated, etc.
