Abstract

An anastomosis system for performing anastomosis of a distal lumen with a proximal lumen is described. In one alternative the system includes an anastomosis element having a sensor assembly incorporated therein, the sensor assembly configured to sense the site of anastomosis. In another alternative the system includes an anastomosis component for performing anastomosis of a distal lumen with a proximal lumen; an applicator for applying the anastomosis component; and a sensor assembly connected to the applicator.

Claims

1. An anastomosis system for performing anastomosis of a distal lumen with a proximal lumen, said system comprising an anastomosis element having a sensor assembly incorporated therein, said sensor assembly configured to sense the site of anastomosis.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the anastomosis element comprises a ring for compression anastomosis of the distal lumen with the proximal lumen, said ring configured for housing elements of the sensor assembly.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the sensor assembly comprises either one or both of an image sensor and a manometer.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the sensor assembly comprises an illumination source.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the sensor assembly comprises a transmitter for transmitting in-vivo information.

6. An anastomosis system comprising:

an anastomosis component for performing anastomosis of a distal lumen with a proximal lumen;

an applicator for applying the anastomosis component; and

a sensor assembly connected to the applicator.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the anastomosis component comprises a top ring and a bottom ring for performing compression anastomosis therebetween.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the sensor assembly is configured to be removably disposed in the top ring, wherein said top ring is located within the distal lumen.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the sensor assembly is configured to be shifted from the distal lumen to the proximal lumen after initiation of anastomosis.

10. The system of claim 6 wherein the sensor assembly comprises a transmitter for transmitting in-vivo information.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a receiver for receiving information transmitted from the transmitter, wherein the receiver is located outside a patient'"'"'s body.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is in wired communication with the receiver.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is in wireless communication with the receiver.

14. The system of claim 11, further comprising a display for displaying the information to an operator, wherein the display is in communication with the receiver.

15. The system of claim 7, wherein the bottom ring comprises a spring element to exert compressive force toward the top ring in order to achieve anastomosis.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the spring element comprises a shape-memory alloy.

17. The system of claim 6, wherein the sensor assembly comprises one or more or a combination of an image sensor, manometer, temperature sensor, pH meter and oximeter.
