A two piece anastomosis device for attaching two organs together and
creating a passage between the organs is disclosed. The anastomosis
device has a first tissue clamping ring and a second tissue clamping ring
that are brought together to clamp tissue therebetween and cut off the
flow of blood to the tissue. The tissue clamping rings are locked
together with an adhesive, and over time, causes the clamped tissue to
necrose and slough off. The sloughed tissue creates a passageway through
the anastomosis device. A method of using the fastener to create a bypass
passageway between the stomach and small intestine is disclosed.
