摘要： The present invention provides an implant device and an associated method for interconnecting human vessels rapidly, safely and in a minimally invasive manner. The device comprises a first segment, a second segment, and a flow opening along the periphery of the two connected segments. The first and second segments are bendable for easy insertion into an incision made within each vessel. Upon release, each bendable segment subsequently conforms to the interior walls of a vessel to provide a sealing contact along the contact surface of the segment inserted within. The flow opening permanently connects the segments and provides fluid interconnectivity between the vessels connected by the implant device. The device is configured so as to: (1) not impede flow inside a vessel; (2) prevent flow out of the openings in the vessels except for flow from one vessel to another via the connector opening; and (3) force the vessels toward each other at areas around the openings allowing the vessels to seal and grow together so that flow in one vessel may flow to the other. The implant device may be inserted using a special catheter designed specifically for the placement and release of the implant device within the vessels for interconnection thereof. The implant device is preferably provided in an assortment of sizes, shapes, configurations, etc. in order to interconnect vessels of various sizes, shapes and orientations.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种植入装置和相关联的方法，用于快速，安全地并且以微创方式互连人体血管。 该装置包括沿着两个连接段的周边的第一段，第二段和流动开口。 第一和第二段是可弯曲的，以便于插入到每个容器内形成的切口中。 在释放时，每个可弯曲段随后符合容器的内壁，以沿着插入其中的段的接触表面提供密封接触。 流动开口永久地连接段，并在通过植入装置连接的容器之间提供流体互连。 该装置配置成：（1）不妨碍容器内的流动; （2）防止从容器中的开口经由连接器开口流出除一个容器之外的开口; 和（3）在开口周围的区域迫使容器朝向彼此，使得容器密封并一起生长，使得一个容器中的流动可以流到另一个容器中。 可以使用专门设计用于在血管内放置和释放植入装置的专用导管插入植入装置，用于互连。 植入装置优选地以各种尺寸，形状，构造等设置，以便互连各种尺寸，形状和取向的容器。
