Abstract
Anastomosis devices, tools and methods of performing sutureless anastomosis. Anastomosis devices are provided for fixing a first conduit to a second conduit in an anastomosis, where the conduits are joined by interfacing their inner walls together. The conduit which is loaded on the anastomosis device may be mounted in such a way that the internal wall of the conduit does not make contact with the anastomosis device.
