1. An anastomosis device for associating two lumen-comprising body structures, having an un-deployed and a deployed state and switchable from the former to the latter, the device comprising:

  • a body with an overall cylindrical shape defining a proximal-distal extending axis of and comprising an external essentially cylindrical body part with a lumen and an internal body part at least a portion thereof being deployed within the lumen of the external body part and axially displaceable with respect thereto in the switch between the un-deployed and the deployed states;

    said internal body part having an internal duct extending axially therethrough whereby in the deployed state there is a fluid communication between the distal and the proximal ends of the body; and

    two tissue-engaging units axially displaced from one another along said axis;

    at least one of the two units can change its state from a closed state in the un-deployed state of the device to an opened, tissue-engaging state in the deployed state of the device in which said first unit extends in an overall radial direction and is adapted in this state for tight association with internal walls of one of the body structures, such that the combined tissue-engaging action of the two unit holds the two structures together.
