Abstract
Compression plates and vascular anvils for anastomosis of structures including end-to-end and end-to-side anastomosis. Vascular anvils cooperate in the opening of the anastomosis fenestra, engagement by a compression plate and subsequent eversion of the anastomosis fenestra contour, and also in establishing the contact engagement of the anastomosed structures. Compression plates hold anastomosed structures while permitting their dilation and keeping the anastomosis leak-proof. One of the compression plates assists in the eversion of the anastomosis fenestra contour. These compression plates and vascular anvils can be used with or without catheterization in minimally invasive interventions.
