Claim:
An anastomosis device for interconnection of a first tubular organ to a second tubular organ, the first tubular organ having a first wall, the device comprising: (a) a first element with an axially through-going first passage along a first longitudinal axis, a first front end portion, a first front edge, a first rear end portion, and a first rear edge, and (b) a second element with an axially through-going second passage along a second longitudinal axis, a second rear end portion or receiving portion, and a second front portion, wherein, 1) the second front portion is provided with at least two elongated first fingers which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second passage, and, 2) said fingers are of uniform thickness, 3) each of said fingers is comprised of a main portion extending from the second front portion and in the direction of the second longitudinal axis, and, 4) said main portion is continuous with a gripping part, wherein the gripping part is directed away from the second longitudinal axis in an undeformed condition of said second element, such that, introduction of the first element into the second element displaces the main portions of the fingers radially outwards, and the first element is distanced from the circumference of the second passage such that the wall of the first organ may be accommodated between the first element and the circumference of the second passage.
