Summary:Implantable medical devices for connecting tissue layers, such as for connecting a gallbladder and a portion of a gastrointestinal tract to create an anastomosis, include a tubular structure having a plurality of apposition portions, a central region, and a covering material. The methods of using the devices include endoscopic deployment, and the devices may include self-expanding frameworks that facilitate a secure connection between the tissue structures. L'invention concerne des dispositifs médicaux implantables pour connecter les couches de tissu, notamment pour relier une vésicule biliaire et une partie du tractus gastro-intestinal pour créer une anastomose, qui comprennent une structure tubulaire ayant une pluralité de parties apposées, une région centrale, et un matériau de recouvrement. Les procédés d'utilisation des dispositifs comprennent le déploiement endoscopique, et les dispositifs peuvent comprendre des structures auto-expansibles qui facilitent une liaison sécurisée entre les structures tissulaires.
