Method and Apparatus for Determining Status of Approximation Structures on Anastomosis Device

An anastomosis device (10) in which radiographic band markers (26, 28) are used to determine fluoroscopically whether approximation structures (24) have been deployed based upon the observed alignment of the radiographic band markers and the approximation structures. The radiographic band markers ar...

Zusammenfassung:An anastomosis device (10) in which radiographic band markers (26, 28) are used to determine fluoroscopically whether approximation structures (24) have been deployed based upon the observed alignment of the radiographic band markers and the approximation structures. The radiographic band markers are positioned proximate a distal end (22) of the anastomosis device wherein a medical professional can fluoroscopically compare a position of crimp hubs (30) on the approximation structures with the radiographic band markers.
