Abstract
Anastomosis devices, tools and methods of performing angled sutureless anastomosis. Devices provided are adapted to be oriented at an acute angle to a host vessel or organ, thereby orienting a graft to be anastomosed to the host by the same angle. The device maintains the angular orientation as it is compressed to join the graft and host.
