Figure 1 Excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis coronary connector, laser catheter, and procedure. A, The slightly opened prototype connector with a fork (1; 2.9 mm outer diameter [OD]). With 2 sharp pins (4.5 mm length) and a ring (2; 3.4 mm OD). A spring (3) at the back of the device enables the ring and fork of the connector to open and close, with the use of an applicator (4). B, Laser catheter (2.5 mm OD): the grid of the vacuum channel (1) is located centrally and surrounded by laser fibers (2; 2.0 mm OD). The cone-shaped tip (3; widest part, 3.0 mm OD) facilitates positioning and stabilization into the anastomotic connector. C, The graft is mounted onto the connector using stitches. The intima of the graft (highlighted) completely covers the inner surface of the ring of the connector. D, An applicator (not shown) is used to insert the connector. The pins of the connector puncture the recipient wall. E, After laser punching an opening into the anastomosis, the catheter—with a lasered fragment (“flap”) of the recipient wall (graft illustrated transparently)— is retrieved. A small protruding adventitial rim of the recipient artery, the laser edge, is exposed intraluminally (see magnified subsection [complete intimal coverage of the ring of the connector by the graft not shown]). F, Final anastomosis, with a ligating hemoclip placed at the distal end of the graft.

Figure 2 Six-month angiogram and histologic transverse sections of the Excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left anterior descending artery (LAD) anastomosis at different points postoperatively. A, Angiogram of a LITA-to-LAD bypass at 6 months postoperatively. The arrow points to the anastomosis. Note, the relatively undersized anastomosis owing to the increased LAD (animal growth). B, At 4 hours, mid-anastomosis (12.5× magnification). A 0.2-mm compression surface of the LITA to LAD, between the fork (1) and the extravascular ring (2), is visible. The magnified (40×) subsection demonstrates the laser rim with a sharp laser-cut edge (Rim), with limited platelets and fibrin coverage (P), and the intima (I)–adventitia (A) vessel wall apposition. C, At 10 days, mid-anastomosis (12.5×). The laser rim is retracting, and neointima formation (N-I) covers the adventitial rim and the intraluminally exposed fork (subsection, 40×). D, At 6 months, mid-anastomosis (12.5×). Streamlining intimal hyperplasia (IH) is seen. Note, the remodeled laser rim and viable intima in between the fork and ring (ie, the compression surface), without medial necrosis. No chronic inflammatory cell reaction is seen (subsection, 100×). A small layer of endothelial cells covers the intraluminal fork of the connector. Note, interruption of the inferior coronary wall caused by longitudinally opening of the coronary artery before inspection.

Figure 3 Scanning electron microscopy of the Excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis left internal thoracic artery (LITA)-to-left anterior descending artery (LAD) anastomosis at different points postoperatively. A and C, View from inside the LAD. From left to right: heel, middle, and toe of the anastomosis. B and D, View from inside the LITA. A, At 4 hours (160× magnification). The puncture site of the fork through the coronary wall (1), laser rim (2), and pin of the fork (3). No endothelial damage and limited platelets and fibrin coverage of the fork are seen. B, At 4 hours (204×). The intima (I)–adventitia (A) vessel wall apposition (arrows). The magnified (750×) subsection demonstrates the adventitial laser rim with limited fibrin and platelets coverage. Note, the sharp laser cut through the coronary artery. C and D, View at 10 days (from left to right, 138×, 146×, and 146×). Complete endothelialization is demonstrated. Note, the continuity of the endothelial surface from the lumen of the coronary artery over the connector (C; 1, heel; 2, middle; 3, toe) and adventitial rim, to the LITA (D; 198×). Arrows point to the former intima (I)–adventitia (A) vessel wall apposition border, and the magnified (1000×) subsection shows a continuum of endothelium covering the rim.

Figure E2 Histologic section of the Excimer laser-assisted nonocclusive anastomosis in the rabbit abdominal aortic bypass model (transverse section; 12.5× magnification). The fork (1) and ring (2) of the anastomotic connector are visible. The magnified (40×) subsection demonstrates the intima (I)–adventitia (A) vessel wall apposition and the sharp laser-cut edge (Rim). Compression of the recipient vessel wall between the ring and fork is seen. G, Lumen of the graft; R, recipient artery.
