Abstract
Connector and methods for attachment to hollow anatomical structures. The connector consists of an annular rigid body and multiple holding members affixed along its opening. The opening and the inner surface and of the annular body correspond respectively to the opening and the external surface of a hollow anatomical structure. The holding members are deformed by an applied force in a manner that the deformed holding members protrude into the opening of the hollow structure and press it towards the annular rigid body, thus attaching the connector to the hollow anatomical structure. Various embodiments of connectors and methods are provided for attaching the connectors to hollow anatomical structures with different external surfaces.
