Abstract
A tool for facilitating access to the inside of a vessel and/or surgery on a vessel or an organ connected to the vessel. The vessel has a proximal end and a distal end, while the tool has a substantially cylindrical band and an arm. The band has a deployed configuration capable of opening the proximal portion of the vessel. The arm is connected to the band and has a deployed configuration capable of at least partially flattening the distal end of the vessel to improve the view inside the vessel. When deployed in a vessel, the tool holds the vessel in an open configuration and provides the physician with a surgical operating field, and the ability to pass a prosthesis through said tool and in a desired location within an organ.
