Abstract
An assembly and method for end-to-side anastomosis to an anatomical conduit is disclosed. The system and method are particularly useful in coupling an LVAD pump to an aorta. The assembly and method include using a tubular graft member having a distal flange section that conforms to and engages an abluminal wall surface of the aorta, an affixation component having a tubular proximal section and a distal flange section that is configured to conform to and engage with a luminal wall surface of the aorta and has a plurality of receiver openings passing through the distal flange section, and a plurality of anchoring components configured to pass through the distal flange section of the graft component, through the wall of the aorta or other major vessel, an engage with the receiver openings of the distal flange section of the affixation component to exert an axially compressive force there between and create a hemostatic seal around an opening formed in the wall of the aorta or major vessel that allows blood or other fluid to pass into and through the assembly and into the aorta or other anatomical conduit.
