| 1998 | Invention patented by Tomohisa Sakurai on October 31th, 1998. Abstract: An angiostomy apparatus has an ultrasonic oscillator for generating predetermined ultrasonic energy. A holding member has at least a substantially annular end face or an annular portion, and holds a blood vessel at its inner peripheral side. A probe is used to hold a portion of the blood vessel between itself and an outer peripheral side portion of the substantially annular end face or the annular portion of the holding member. An oscillation transmitting section transmits ultrasonic oscillation from the ultrasonic oscillator to that portion of the blood vessel which is in contact with the holding member or the probe. The holding member is a cylindrical member having a slit formed therein. |
