Problems solved by technology

This interruption of flow, if too long, causes detrimental effects to organs and surrounding tissue, which can endanger, jeopardize, or worsen a patient's general health.
This process is not only difficult, time consuming, and expensive, but also requires a high degree of surgical skill and a considerable amount of time and patience from a surgeon.
Additionally, the use of sutures introduces a potential weakness in a surgical connection placed to connect two or more vessels, often resulting in tearing or leakage.
A leak resulting from poor or weakened sutures can create a number of problems such as internal hemorrhaging for the patient, requiring additional surgeries, time, and expense.
Also problematic are conventional connectors used in a

Abstract

Techniques for sutureless vascular anastomosis are described, including an incision seal including a base configured to partially house an outer surface of a main vessel, the base being formed using a material that is configured to be penetrated by a barb disposed on a connector the main vessel being secured to the base when the base is at least partially pierced by the barb, an upper lumen configured to guide a graft vessel, and a housing opening configured to receive the graft vessel.
