An anastomotic device, comprising: a first tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end that includes a plurality of slits adapted to expand to form distal wings; a second tubular body having a proximal end that includes a plurality of slits adapted to expand to form proximal wings and a distal end adapted to be coupled to the proximal end of the first tubular body, wherein the proximal end of the first tubular body and the distal end of the second tubular body each have a plurality of tabs and notches alternatively disposed and configured to mate and form an interlocking relationship between the tubular bodies to allow the tubular bodies to slide axially to provide a variable length; and a threaded insert within each of the tubular bodies, coupled to their respective tubular bodies and having a tubular link rod in threaded engagement with the threads of the inserts, such that the tubular bodies are movable towards each other when the link rod rotates in one direction and movable away from each other when the link rod is rotated in the opposite direction; wherein rotation and axial compression of the distal end of the first tubular body with respect to the proximal end of the first tubular body causes the plurality of slits of the distal end of the first tubular body to expand to form the distal wings and compression and rotation of the proximal end of the second tubular body with respect to the distal end of the second tubular body causes the plurality of slits of the proximal end of the second tubular body to expand to form the proximal wings, the distal wings extending towards the proximal wings and the proximal wings extending towards the distal wings to engage tissue therebetween. a first tubular body having a proximal end and a distal end that includes a plurality of slits adapted to expand to form distal wings; a second tubular body having a proximal end that includes a plurality of slits adapted to expand to form proximal wings and a distal end adapted to be coupled to the proximal end of the first tubular body, wherein the proximal end of the first tubular body and the distal end of the second tubular body each have a plurality of tabs and notches alternatively disposed and configured to mate and form an interlocking relationship between the tubular bodies to allow the tubular bodies to slide axially to provide a variable length; and a threaded insert within each of the tubular bodies, coupled to their respective tubular bodies and having a tubular link rod in threaded engagement with the threads of the inserts, such that the tubular bodies are movable towards each other when the link rod rotates in one direction and movable away from each other when the link rod is rotated in the opposite direction; wherein rotation and axial compression of the distal end of the first tubular body with respect to the proximal end of the first tubular body causes the plurality of slits of the distal end of the first tubular body to expand to form the distal wings and compression and rotation of the proximal end of the second tubular body with respect to the distal end of the second tubular body causes the plurality of slits of the proximal end of the second tubular body to expand to form the proximal wings, the distal wings extending towards the proximal wings and the proximal wings extending towards the distal wings to engage tissue therebetween.
