Abstract
Vascular anastomosis using a pulsed diode laser was discussed. Tests with liquid albumin were performed. An albumin/ICG stent was designed to avoid collapsing of the blood vessel while welding and to keep both edges of the vessel together. When the welding was completed in a human artery, the natural flow of blood was expected to dissolve the stent in less than 12 minutes.
