ABSTRACT This invention relates to a connector to replace a portion of a patient's internal body fluid or solid carrying conduit adapted to connect said body conduit to a vascular implant device for providing external access to said body conduit. It is well known in the art that there are various methods for externalizing an internal vessel, or providing fluid communication from the vascular system to a cleansing source outside the body. In the former, the ulceration of the skin, and in the latter the trauma of connecting and reconnecting arteries and veins with tubes or needles have proved to be serious problems. The present invention seeks to do away with these problems by providing a body implantable connector to replace a portion of a patient's body fluid or solid carrying conduit, said connector adapted to connect device to the body conduit or vessel external from the body. The connector includes a tubular member expanded along its length in order to form a bulbous portion; a side port is provided for connection to the implant device at the approximate midpoint of the tubular member bulbous portion.
